Uno Platform 6.0, a major update to the open source tool kit for building cross-platform .NET applications from a single code base, introduces a new, unified rendering engine, called Skia, that gives developers a low-footprint, high-performance, hardware-accelerated option for running apps on iOS, Android, Web/WebAssembly, Mac, Linux, and Windows.
Described by the Uno Platform Team as the biggest release ever, Uno Platform 6.0 was announced in a blog post on May 7.
While Uno Platform also supports native UI rendering for these platforms, the Skia rendering engine brings “massive” performance advantages, the company said. These include up to 75% smaller footprint, 60% faster startup, 30% less memory, and 45 times faster to run, according to the Uno Platform Team.
