Unity & SwiftUI – Bridging the Divide
summary
Unity exports a project as a library that embeds a ~100MB Objective‑C++ framework and requires passing C argc/argv into the framework via NSProcessInfo, so the integration builds an app delegate to call runEmbedded, creates a UIHostingController swift ui overlay layered over a full‑screen Unity view, and wires communication both ways using an extern unity_ready callback and the framework method UnitySendMessage with UTF‑8 string (JSON) payloads. The demo shows a button roundtrip and an alert, proving the bridge works. export as library
