Native look on iOS / Android?

I’ve seen a couple of unanswered questions out there like this, but I’m asking again:

Is there any way to develop a hardware-accelerated native GUI for iOS and android using Unity? We’d love to use the list views, animations, text boxes, etc that come with each platform and switch to the unity view for all the nice sexy 3d content.

Right now the options seem to be to write an HTML5 web app and launch unity with the appropriate arguments using a OS-specific url scheme, or to have 2 native apps that launch each other when appropriate. This would work kind of like how you launch the youtube or maps app on iOS from a web link.

Ideas? Thoughts?

native GUI == native code, and probably writing plugins w/ Unity Pro license. So there are no native GUI solutions ,especially not cross platform iOS and Android. Some people have written lots of plugins for each platform, for example prime31 (no affiliation)

thoughts: Just write your GUI in Unity. Make it sexy. It will be hardware accelerated- everything rendered by Unity is :slight_smile:

Here’s a way to do it on android:
