Skip brings Swift app development to Android. Share Swift business logic, or write entire cross-platform apps in SwiftUI.<\/p>\n

Skip is the only tool that enables you to develop genuinely native apps for both<\/em> major mobile platforms with a single codebase. Under the hood, it uses the vendor-recommended technologies on each OS: Swift and SwiftUI on iOS, Kotlin and Compose on Android.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n

Marc Prud’hommeaux<\/a>:<\/p>\n

It doesn’t embed a separate engine or runtime into your app, but instead lets you use pure Swift and SwiftUI to create the iOS side of the app (as per Apple’s recommended best practices for creating iOS apps), and transpiles it into a pure Kotlin and Jetpack Compose app for the Android side (which is Google’s recommendation for building Android apps). So your application will use platform-native controls and will automatically have all the affordances provided by the platform vendor: animations, accessibility, and future-proof evolution alongside OS updates.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n
