Hi, Alfian!
Great video! I'm sure it is serving as a guideline for many people!
Do you know how to use the DataTemplate for a combobox? Specialy when the combobox items are objects and you want the combobox to display a customized cell with the object properties.

[@ShaqarudenGames]

Could you make a video of building up your starter project? Your fork is currently 6 commits behind thebrowsercompany repo

[@mohannadhashem]

Do you know if this is somehow possible running on ARM using Parallels in a virtual machine? I have followed your steps and can't get it to compile.

[@TheiTE]

Hey! So I don't own a Windows PC and I'm trying to get this to work on Windows on ARM through Parallels Desktop on my M2 MBA, I purchased the license and then when I tried to follow along with the tutorial, it says "This platform (arm-64-win32) is not supported". Is there anything I can do to get this fixed? Otherwise I must get a refund for parelells lol.

[@Sonu872_]

This is great but I do have one question is it possible to accomplish SwiftUI like declarative programming here?

[@ShaqarudenGames]

Someone would need to write it but yes I think it should be possible

[@felixxu5870]

Is cmake required? can it be replaced by swiftPM?

[@XCA]

For now, its required i think.

[@XVOIDFN]

for me it end with code 1 please help

how to use acrylic backdrop? i got error while compiling

[@XCA]

I have tried that as well. Looks like acrylic is not available with current swiftwinrt generated projection.

[@nathann8361]

@@XCA but how arc on windows using acrylic?

[@vanchao]

Can swift running on Android?

[@XCA]

There are several tools that can achieve this. For example skip.tools enables you to transpiles your Swift Code to Kotlin and run it on Android.

[@vanchao]

@@XCA did Apple support it or not? Like kotlin has kotlin multiplatform officially support running on iOS system

[@raspberryjoe]

@@XCA This tool looks very interesting. Thanks!

[@XCA]

@@vanchao No, Apple doesn’t provide official support
