A native SwiftUI emoji picker for iOS and macOS — macOS-style popover, zero UIKit dependencies.

Works on iOS 14+ and macOS 11+ with a single .emojiPicker() modifier.

Fork of MCEmojiPicker, rewritten from the ground up in pure SwiftUI to resolve the lack of macOS support.

• Does not support two-part emojis. For example:
  • Supported: 🤝🏻 🤝🏿
  • Not supported: 🫱🏿‍🫲🏻 🫱🏼‍🫲🏿

In Xcode go to File → Add Package Dependencies and enter:

https://github.com/izyumkin/SwiftEmojiPicker

Or add it to your Package.swift:

dependencies: [
    .package(url: "https://github.com/izyumkin/SwiftEmojiPicker", from: "1.0.0")
]

pod 'SwiftEmojiPicker'

Copy the Sources/SwiftEmojiPicker folder into your Xcode project. Enable Copy items if needed and Create groups.

import SwiftEmojiPicker

struct ContentView: View {
    @State private var selectedEmoji = "😀"
    @State private var showPicker = false

    var body: some View {
        Button(selectedEmoji) {
            showPicker = true
        }
        .emojiPicker(isPresented: $showPicker, selectedEmoji: $selectedEmoji)
    }
}

Color for the active category icon. Default is .blue.

.emojiPicker(
    isPresented: $showPicker,
    selectedEmoji: $selectedEmoji,
    selectedEmojiCategoryTintColor: .pink
)

Whether the picker closes after an emoji is selected. Default is true.

.emojiPicker(
    isPresented: $showPicker,
    selectedEmoji: $selectedEmoji,
    isDismissAfterChoosing: false
)

EmojiPickerView can be placed anywhere in your view hierarchy without a popover:

EmojiPickerView(selectedEmoji: $selectedEmoji)
