Description of Change
For NETFX, SkiaSharp uses delegates because there is no packaging system and there could be potentially load an arbitrary number of libSkiaSharp - as is the case with several VS extensions. SkiaSharp has their own folder structure that the internal library loader looks at.
In our application we distribute native libraries for all possible platforms ("write once, run anywhere"), but since there is no standard, we have different folder structure for them (and it cannot be changed, because we use the single build infrastructure with other products).
So an extension point to override native libraries loading process is needed.
API Changes
Added:
static Func<string, IntPtr> LoadLibraryOverride { get; set; }
