Native Swift/Kotlin frontend + tauri backend?

[kieranm]

I'm new and trying to figure out how Tauri works and what its capabilities are.

We're developing Tauri apps for our MacOS, Windows and Linux and we're happy for these to use a React-based frontend as intended by Tauri.

Our iOS/Android apps already exist and have been written with native Swift/Kotlin. We like the native performance of this setup. But to reduce duplication of domain logic it would be nice to be able to call Tauri commands and receive Tauri events, even though the apps are not full "tauri apps" in the sense that they use a JS frontend in a webview.

Is it possible to integrate Tauri with an existing app, with a SwiftUI frontend, but sharing the Tauri backend with the desktop apps? Or is it a requirement to use a Tauri webview frontend? I hope the question makes sense!

Thanks!
