One thing I would have added is that thousands of Swift packages are already available for use in your Android apps. The Swift Package Index lists compatibility, or check

Tip: any Swift code in SKIP blocks can interact directly with Kotlin, including #JetpackCompose. We transparently transpile SKIP code to Kotlin, then bridge it back to your native Swift. Here a user integrates custom Compose into his #SwiftUI using a ComposeView #SwiftForAndroid

The Workgroup and upcoming SDK are true community efforts, and there are folks who’ve been working towards this longer than we have. But we do believe has played an important role in pushing things forward! ❤️.

Following @aabewhite’s for as long as I have, seeing them practically create the Swift on Android workgroup feels like watching a movie, and the good guys are winning.It’s just insane how much can smart, motivated people can achieve.

Using @SwiftLang for #AndroidDev is already more popular than you think. doesn't have runtime checks, so even we don't know the apps out there. Here's a popular one I just found out about:.

Xcode 26's #SwiftUI API files have a combined 26,000 lines of diffs, but most is noise. We'll take the meaningful bits, use an LLM to generate stubs, then begin implementing important APIs for #Android! Of course your Swift will get the updates to Foundation, etc for free

The Swift Package Index is now tracking Android support! It's easier than ever to pick from thousands of compatible packages when building your x-platform Swift apps. Use Skip Fuse to fuse to a Compose or SwiftUI-on-Android UI.

Skip Fuse supports thousands of @SwiftLang packages on Android, including @Supabase. And now we've bridged our Android @Firebase support to native Swift as well. Take your pick!.

Curious what it looks like to call @Kotlin or Java from your native @SwiftLang with Skip? How about embedding #JetpackCompose in your #SwiftUI on Android, like this Google maps integration? This doc chapter has you covered.
