FAQPage Schema
What platforms and graphics backends does Makepad support for cross-platform UI development?▼

You can build a single Makepad UI that runs across macOS, Windows, Linux, Web, Android, and iOS by applying platform-specific code patterns and conditional compilation tips to minimize per-platform code.

How do I use conditional compilation in Makepad to handle platform-specific OS APIs?▼

Makepad uses conditional compilation to map platform-specific OS APIs and entry-point usage, allowing you to isolate backend-specific code while sharing the core UI logic across all supported targets.

Can I use Makepad to build a portable UI application for both mobile and desktop targets?▼

Yes, Makepad is designed for portable UI components across mobile targets like Android and iOS, and desktop targets like macOS, Windows, and Linux, simplifying cross-platform development with backend mappings.

What is the best way to integrate OS-specific entry points in a Makepad project?▼

The best way to integrate OS-specific entry points in Makepad is by referencing the platform-support guidance, which details how to configure entry-point usage and map OS integration for each target platform.

Are there limitations when mapping Makepad backends to different operating systems?▼

Limitations in Makepad backend mapping arise from distinct OS API constraints across macOS, Windows, Linux, Web, Android, and iOS, requiring conditional compilation to handle platform-specific behavior.
