I'd like to join rust-mobile

[madsmtm]

Hey, I'm looking into the current Rust offers/crates for bundling and running applications on iOS, and... It's a mess. To this end, I'd like to join the rust-mobile organization, to begin rectifying some of this.

I'd start by contacting BrainiumLLC, the owners of cargo-mobile, and the maintainers of cargo-dinghy, and asking them to move to rust-mobile, since these, along with xbuild and cargo-apk, have a lot of overlap, so I think it makes sense to maintain them together in the same organization.

We'd also want some collaboration with the dodorare organization.

Hey, @madsmtm, thanks for reaching out - these all sound like relevant initiatives and considering knowing that you've already done lots of good work in the area of iOS enabling for Rust I'm more than happy to add you as a member here. 👍

Wonderful! I'll keep this discussion open to post status updates, to begin with I've opened BrainiumLLC/cargo-mobile#128.

I finally got an answer from Rory Snively via. Francesca Lovebloom via. email; Brainium does not want to give up ownership of cargo-mobile (which is unfortunate, but totally fair).

I'll try to move forwards with some of the other projects.

Did you see that tauri folks forked it into cargo-mobile2?

Any updates on how the iOS user story has evolved since this post?

Not really, no, I got side-tracked a bunch with making rustc work nicer with Xcode, and making it easier to use Mac Catalyst.
