create range requests on mobiles devices

[dnltsk]

Mobile apps are often written in Kotlin for Android and Swift for iOS. Are there any libs around to support range requests on the client side? If not, is there a spec that explains the conversion from z/x/y coordinates to range requests?

In my case, I want to add vector PMTiles on an Android google maps client.

The JS code seem pretty self explanatory. Maybe that helps already.

(moving to discussion)

It depends on the client library. Of the popular ones I know of (MapLibre Native, etc) there isn't a plugin system for data sources so would require maintaining a fork of the library. Can you point to any related open source data layer support for Android on google maps?

Some folks and I have been exploring this for tauri-based mobile apps. Got it working here on iOS and Android: inro-digital/tauri-offline-maps#2 (but afaik getting user's current geolocation wasn't working when I last checked a few months ago, so a no-go for my use-case unfortunately).
