This is your friendly reminder that Spotify went out of their way to write a networking library that wraps platform specific network libraries since iOS will have special-ish behaviors that you lose if you aren’t using their stack.

I am the biggest proponent of Rust where possible but I always feel like this is worth mentioning when people bring up moving all shared logic for mobile platforms to Rust. It would be great to see it reqwest/ureq/etc could have a feature flag to use these behind the scenes:

Also: if anybody from Spotify is reading I would love to know why it’s discontinued and passed to community maintenance. Alternatively, if someone from e.g Apple would weigh in on how much this still matters it would also be welcome.

The apps themselves are written in Swift and Kotlin respectively, but it’s notable that they can now do this duplicate work much more sustainably because the bulk of their app code lives in a unified Rust layer.
