SwiftBindings.Kingfisher

SwiftBindings.Kingfisher

Native Swift interop bindings for Kingfisher, a powerful pure-Swift library for downloading and caching images from the web. These are not Objective-C proxy wrappers — they use .NET 10's native Swift interop for direct, high-performance calls into Swift APIs from C#.

Installation

dotnet add package SwiftBindings.Kingfisher

Requirements

• .NET 10.0+
• iOS 13.0+
• macOS host for development

Usage

Shared manager and caches

using Kingfisher;

var manager = KingfisherManager.Shared;
var cache = ImageCache.Default;
var downloader = ImageDownloader.Default;

Custom cache and downloader

var cache = new ImageCache("MyCache");
var downloader = new ImageDownloader("MyDownloader");

Image processors

using var processor = DefaultImageProcessor.Default;

See Kingfisher's documentation for the full API surface (download options, cache policies, processors, indicators).

How It Works

These bindings are auto-generated by Swift Dotnet Bindings using .NET 10's native Swift interop via the SwiftBindings SDK.

Building from Source

Only needed if you're contributing or building the package locally.

# One-time: install the pinned Nuke CLI from .config/dotnet-tools.json
dotnet tool restore

# Build the package end-to-end (xcframework + bindings + dotnet build)
dotnet nuke BuildLibrary --library Kingfisher
