skip.tools is one third-party solution for creating Swift + SwiftUI apps for Android today.


It still translates SwiftUI to Kotlin+Compose, right? Very cool and useful, but not quite the same as a Swift-based UI framework for Android.


Oops, TIL Jetpack Compose doesn't use Android native controls. That is unfortunate.


Jetpack Compose is just as "native" as Android views at this point; it hooks into the same accessibility frameworks and renders to the same surfaces as the framework toolkit. This isn't like Flutter which renders to an opaque Skia buffer.


Great! I appreciate the claification, thank you.
