Hello @ShikiSuen. Our binding frameworks can possibly bind a system installed framework, but this isn't a supported use case. If you would like to work on the official binding, you may try getting assistance on the discord channel (https://aka.ms/dotnet-discord) and can consider looking into binding it in the main SDK if you are interested.

@tj-devel709 Thanks for your response.

this isn't a supported use case

May I confirm whether "this" indicates "bind any system installed framework" or specifically "InputMethodKit"?

[ivanlabsii]

@ShikiSuen macOS API is not 100% supported, so some not so frequently used system frameworks are not bound in Xamarin.Mac.

This is not the official answer as I am just a developer like you, but it is correct and you can find more info regarding that if you search on the internet.

@ivanicin "not so frequently used system frameworks"

I am afraid that the InputMethodKit is high-frequently used in CJK input method programming. Certain types of macOS built-in input methods are just terrible, and Apple never listen / improve in these years. This is why 3rd-party input methods must step in.
