NativeEmojiPicker

this little SwiftUI library is an emoji picker.

it uses native emoji keyboard that apple gave us,
instead of other emoji pickers that are missing important features such as:

• multilingual emoji search
• genmoji support

example

import SwiftUI
import NativeEmojiPicker

struct EmojiPicker: View {
    @State var isPresented: Bool = false
    @State var emoji: String? = "🤯"
    @State var genmoji: NSAttributedString? = nil
    var hasNothing: Bool { emoji == nil && genmoji == nil }
    
    var body: some View {
        Button(action: { isPresented.toggle() }) {
            ZStack {
                Color.gray.opacity(0.1)
                Image(systemName: "circle.dashed")
                    .padding(2)
                    .foregroundStyle(.gray)
                    .opacity(hasNothing ? 0.4 : 0)
                EmojiView(emoji, genmoji)
            }
            .clipShape(.circle)
        }
        .frame(width: 40, height: 40)
        .nativeEmojiPicker(
            isPresented: $isPresented,
            selectedEmoji: $emoji,
            selectedGenmoji: $genmoji
        )
    }
}

features

• closes down when user types non emoji key
• closes keyboard when user changes language (however it's also triggered by emoji search, so it's turned off by default)
• multilingual emoji search
• genmoji support (simulator is not supported as of now; Jan 2025)
• all emojis with all color combinations
• all future emojis
• simple and small codebase
