[Feature request]
Could be nice to be able to use IconPacks for the Uno Platform.

@byrialsen Sounds interesting, I'll look for this. But need some learning about Uno and how to create packages for it.

I am creating MahApps Icon pack browser (from the browser already available in this repo) in Uno platform. I have UWP version running. If there is support for Uno, probably this application will support all the platforms ( IOS, Android, WebAssembly, UWP
and Linux).

Design will be polished based on different form factor.

Thanks

Hi @ParthMandalia

The idea is great and your first draft is IMO beautiful. But there is more to consider, so for now we want to stick with the current design. Nevertheless we can discuss yours when the uno support is implemented. :-)

Please do us (and you) a favour: Instead of creating your own repo for it and copy / paste all the stuff there, fork this repo and create a new branch for your idea. This would make it possible to merge it if it is ready some day.

Happy coding
Tim

I have forked this repo and created a branch. I am not sure for the next steps. Please guide me.

I was able to partially build Uno class library for this project. I have only used one icon pack (BoxIcon) to test the project as of now. Since there are many projects to build (15 projects {3 projects with Android, UWP, WASM, IOS, Mac each}), there is a randomly generated bug (Uno.SourceGenerationTasks.targets) in any one of the project and entire library fails to build. Should I upload the project solution here? Note: I have removed all the WPF components from the project.

I was able to successfully compile the MahAppsIcons UNO class library locally (without github). And trying to link the project with my master branch.

I dont know what changes are required in Directory.builds.props / *.csproj files
