+# C API and ArkTS bindings for Selected OHOS libraries
+
+We need C API and ArkTS NEXT bindings generated for several @ohos libraries used in the Photos app main screen.
+
+## The scope of work
+
+Only the libraries needed for Photos app main screen need to be converted.
+
+At least for the following set of libraries should be covered
+
+   * @ohos.file.photoAccessHelper
+   * @ohos.abilityAccessCtrl
+   * @ohos.data.dataSharePredicates
+
+Talk to Nikolay Igotti before doing any other libraries.
+
+## The generator
+
+### The tool
+
+The generation tool can be found here
+https://gitee.com/nikolay-igotti/idlize
+
+### libxml example
+
+The generator invocation for @ohos.xml example can be found starting from this entry point:
+
+https://gitee.com/nikolay-igotti/idlize/blob/master/package.json#L61
+
+
+## The task breakdown
+
+### Generate everything that can be generated
+
+#### Generate the C header
+
+See here for example of such generated header for libace.so
+
+https://gitee.com/openharmony/arkui_ace_engine/blob/OpenHarmony_ArkUI_Upstream_2024/frameworks/core/interfaces/arkoala/generated/interface/arkoala_api_generated.h#L9783
+
+#### Generate interop bridges
+
+See here for example of such file for libace.so
+
+https://gitee.com/openharmony-sig/arkcompiler_ets_frontend/raw/master/arkoala/framework/native/src/generated/bridge_generated.cc
+
+#### Generate ArkTS bindings for your library
+
+See here for example of ArkTS bindings generated for libace.so
+
+https://gitee.com/openharmony-sig/arkcompiler_ets_frontend/blob/master/arkoala-arkts/arkui/src/generated/ArkSwiperControllerMaterialized.ts
+
+### Manually create the Modifiers where needed
+
+See here for the generated modifiers:
+
+https://gitee.com/openharmony/arkui_ace_engine/blob/OpenHarmony_ArkUI_Upstream_2024/frameworks/core/interfaces/arkoala/implementation/
+
+For example
+
+https://gitee.com/openharmony/arkui_ace_engine/blob/OpenHarmony_ArkUI_Upstream_2024/frameworks/core/interfaces/arkoala/implementation/button_modifier.cpp
+
+### Compile everything native to a shared object
+
+Compile and link the natives to .so
+
+## Run and verify
+
+Ensure the user sts code can access the library and get reasonable results
