Thanks to your great work I really need this!
I am trying to run demo on my ubuntu 22.04. I meet some problem, the version of libadwaita on Ubuntu 22.04 is 1.1, but Adwaita seems uses some newer interface.
I think if there should be a method to control interface available?

Thanks for opening this issue! I suggest to develop apps inside a Flatpak, you can use the template's Flatpak manifest as a starting point. GNOME Builder has a very good integration with Flatpaks (in case you don't want to use the command line).

The problem is that, even if auto generation would be executed on the app developer's device, matching the available version, there is still manually written code in this library that depends on auto-generated code or that directly calls libadwaita functions. This code enables a more SwiftUI-like approach to certain widgets, such as NavigationView. Code for windows and menus isn't auto-generated as well. These parts wouldn't compile with older libadwaita versions.

Currently, the required libadwaita version is 1.4, but I'll add features requiring 1.5 as soon as it is available (e.g. the new dialogs). I really recommend using flatpak-builder directly or indirectly using GNOME Builder.

BTW: I am working on swift 32bit armhf toolchain. And I am going to run this demo on my 32-bit stm32mp157 platform.
So is there any limitation that Adwaita must run on 64-bit platform?

I never tried that, but if Swift 5.8 (or higher) and libadwaita 1.4 work on 32-bit platforms, this package should as well.

OK I am really interesting with it, when i run adwaita on my 32bit platform. I will open a discussion😁

Hi @CmST0us, how is using Adwaita for Swift on your 32-bit platform working?

I am working on yocto now.
First, I need to build libadwaita 32-bit on yocto, and run libadwaita-demos.
With yocto, I can easily get a toolchain with libadwaita.
Than with this toolchain, i can get my swift 32-bit toolchain work to build adwaita-swift.

For now, i still working on how to build libadwait with yocto.

And other way is to strip unavailable interface, in order to build with libadwaita-1.1 (which is the ubuntu version).
May be it's the fastest way to get adwaita-swift run on 32-bit platform. (I already have ubuntu 32-bit swift toolchain)
