It's here: fully native Swift and #SwiftUI apps for Android!

That's right, compile your Swift/SwiftUI for both iOS and Android. Embed additional Kotlin and Compose as desired. Utilize the vast ecosystem of Android libs and Swift packages. Full post:

Compiled Swift and #SwiftUI on Android filling out nicely. Recently added some big surface areas like Path/Shape and Animation APIs. We're getting close to being able to port our first full sample app from transpiled to native Swift!

Discover how the App Fair Project is revolutionizing app distribution with a free and open-source marketplace for iOS and Android, inspired by F-Droid and shaped by the Digital Markets Act. In this episode of the Software Freedom Podcast, Marc Prud'hommeaux shares the challenges and vision behind creating a universal, accessible, and privacy-focused app ecosystem. Listen now to learn how this project is pushing for a more open digital future! 🚀 #DigitalMarketsAct #AppFair https://appfair.org/blog/softwarefreedom-podcast-interview

Swift for #Androiddev is moving towards official status, folks. https://skip.tools already supports a compiled Swift model powering a Compose or transpiled #SwiftUI interface, and we'll support compiled SwiftUI in the coming weeks!

This year I am unfortunately sick and could not properly join the nice festivities of #iLoveFS, but I do want to thank @eighthave from @fdroidorg, @marcprux from #AppFair, Benjamin from @Tor, Marc from #GNUTaler, the nice people from #iSH and many others for their volunteer time and expertise in helping us to understand the technical and legal aspects of #interoperability, #AppStore and #Safari. With their support we are pushing #DeviceNeutrality in environments dominated by #Apple.

Saw a fascinating presentation at Boston CocoaHeads about https://skip.tools/ -- it's a proprietary transpiler + open-source libraries that converts native SwiftUI iOS apps to native Kotlin Compose Android apps. Nice work @skiptools / @marcprux !

This meeting will include a presentation by @marcprux on @skiptools. Skip is a tool that enables developers to use a single modern programming language (Swift) and first-class development environment (Xcode) to build genuinely native apps for both iOS and Android.

Details about the new location are below. Please RSVP on Meetup by February 6.

Despite battling a cold and mistakenly using the wrong microphone, 🤦‍♂️ my conversation with @marcprux from @skiptools was incredible. We delved into crafting Android applications with Swift with Skip. I'm excited to get this episode out soon.
