Description

Feature Request: HarmonyOS NEXT Platform Support

Background

We are building an educational interactive game app using Unity 2022 + ILRuntime, packaged as an SDK and embedded into native Android, iOS, and HarmonyOS NEXT apps.

We are integrating app.rive.rive-unity (v0.4.2) and it works great on Android and iOS. However, we need to support HarmonyOS NEXT (Huawei's new OS — fully independent OS stack, no AOSP compatibility layer).

Problem

The rive-unity package ships pre-compiled native libraries for Android, iOS, Windows, macOS, WebGL, etc., but does not include a native library for HarmonyOS NEXT.

We investigated self-compiling but hit a blocker:

• rive-runtime (public): core C++ runtime, but missing Unity bridge symbols like setUnityLog, RiveRegisterRenderingPlugin, UnityPluginLoad, etc.
• rive-unity (public): pure C# package with pre-built binaries, no native build scripts
• The Unity native plugin bridge source appears to be in a private repository (runtime_unity/native_plugin), referenced in rive-runtime/dependencies/gen_yoga_renames/gen_renames.sh:

Additional context

Without the plugin bridge source, we cannot compile a HarmonyOS-compatible librive.so.

HarmonyOS NEXT Technical Context

Item	Details
OS	HarmonyOS NEXT — fully independent, no AOSP compatibility
NDK	OHOS NDK (Clang/LLVM)
Target ABI	aarch64-linux-ohos
C library	musl libc (Android .so uses Bionic — cannot be reused)
Graphics API	OpenGL ES 3.0 ✅ Vulkan 1.0+ ✅
Unity version	Unity 2022 LTS

Request

1. Official HarmonyOS NEXT support — add librive.so compiled for aarch64-linux-ohos (musl libc) to the Unity package's Libraries/ directory.
2. Or — grant access to the runtime_unity/native_plugin private repo so we can compile and maintain the HarmonyOS build ourselves.
3. Or — provide public build instructions/script to compile the Unity native plugin for custom platforms.

Why This Matters

HarmonyOS NEXT is rapidly growing in China's education market. Enabling Rive on HarmonyOS NEXT would unlock a significant user base for Rive-powered interactive content. We are happy to contribute the HarmonyOS build config back to the community once we have the necessary source access.
