Developer shows Swift can build fully native Android apps

Original: Turns out it was true that it’s possible to create 100% # swift # android apps https:// github.com/trufae/pmai/blob/ma i

A developer known as pancake (trufae) is pointing to a GitHub project demonstrating that apps for Android can now be written entirely in Swift, sharing a SwiftUI-based interface file from a project called PocketMai. The claim challenges the usual assumption that Swift is limited to Apple platforms, and is drawing attention among mobile developers curious about cross-platform Swift tooling.

Why now: It surprises developers because Swift is normally associated with iOS, not native Android development.
