@tebjan you have more points to open ?

Hey, very glad to see this happening. I hope we will have time to discuss these things in our next vvvv meeting and come back to you with ideas and/or other points to consider.

Here are some initial thoughts:

We could have a public repo with an example project to see how the code can be used
WPF, Avalonia, (WinForms, GLFW, SDL, GTK#)?
Seeing how stride can be integrated into existing apps would be great

I think most important would be Xamarin.Forms / .Net MAUI Custom Renderer/Handler I tried to work on it and I would do it but still Months it is not possible to build Android Apps. For UWP/WinUI for example creating a Custom Renderer would be extremly simple (https://github.com/xamarin/XamarinCommunityToolkit/issues/549) but for Android I have to test it. So I could not work fourther on.

Is testing on Android the only thing holding up this PR? I have several Android devices that are already set up for development, just let me know what needs to be tested.
