I've been using HeliBoard lately as my primary input. It's based on AOSP keyboard and includes a few quality of life improvements over say, OpenBoard.

One feature is possible gesture typing. The setting reads: "Provide a native library to enable gesture typing." I am not sure what a gesture library is or how to get one. Does anyone have an insight on this?

Yes. The Heliboard GitHub explains that it requires a closed source library and links to the open board GitHub to find the downloads. Here's the link. https://github.com/erkserkserks/openboard/tree/46fdf2b550035ca69299ce312fa158e7ade36967/app/src/main/jniLibs

Interestingly, gesture typing is available for AnySoftKeyboard and I think it is native.I wonder how the Dev managed it?

On their Github you can download it. https://github.com/Helium314/HeliBoard

Scroll down to the glide typing section.

It should be the arm64 library that you need. When you click on load gesture typing library in Heliboard it should say what it wants
