There should be native support for converting between Hijri (Umm al-Qura), Gregorian, Julian and UnixTime calendars.

Many big players have included native support for Hijri calendar in their SDKs and software. Below are some:

(Java Hijri calendar support)[https://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/api/java/time/chrono/HijrahChronology.html]
(Apple supports the Hijri calendar in 5 of their SDKs (Software Development Kits))[https://developer.apple.com/documentation/foundation/calendar.identifier]
(Microsoft Windows supports Hijri calendar naively)[https://www.microsoft.com/middleeast/msdn/ArabicCalendar.aspx]
(Microsoft Office has native support)[https://blogs.technet.microsoft.com/office_global_experience/2010/01/13/um-al-qura-calendar-support-in-office-2010/]
(Android Hijri calendar support)[https://developer.android.com/reference/android/icu/util/IslamicCalendar.html]
