Apple is officially working on supporting its Swift programming language on Android, the company announced earlier this week. While apps for iOS and Android are usually written in Swift and Kotlin, respectively, attempts to support Swift on the iPhone manufacturer’s Android can provide an option for the development of apps on Google’s operating system. Apple already supports Swift on Windows and Linux, and has established an Android workgroup to maintain the operating system as a supported platform for Swift programming language.
Swift says that the membership of Android Working Group is open to members of all communities
On Thursday, Swift Core team member Mishal Shah announced Swift Android Workgroup Establishment In a forum post. According to the Swift website, the workgroup will promote the use of programming language to create an application for Android. It currently has 10 members, and membership is “open to anyone wishing to contribute.”
Newly established work groups will list many tasks On Swift websiteThese include maintaining and improving the support for Swift on Android, while working with the platform steering group to install platform support levels, and adding support for debaging Android apps written using Swift.
Member of Workgroup Mark Prudh ‘Homex (@marcprux) Explained This will have the ability to develop Android and iOS apps simultaneously, using an use case a shared codebase. Swifts can actually be used to manufacture the entire application stack, while a native user interface is used for Android and iOS.
It is worth noting Skip -like equipment Already exist, and allow developers to create a native app for Android together, using the same Swift and Swiftui Code that they use to develop their iOS app. The service automatically develops codes for Android (and its interface) using jetpack composes, allowing developers to adapt to iPhone and Android smartphones and offer “native” performance.
Swift should be officially maintained as a tool like skip, while developers should be even better, while developers should be very easy to make apps for Android which were written in Swift. Developers can follow the efforts of the work groups through the developers Swift for Android Github RoadmapAnd even contributed to the project.
