It was already fully native Swift and I began the apps before React Native existed. But it’s not true what you say! I have begun prototyping experiments in running my Swift and SQLite in the browser via WASM, and I’m also evaluating https://skip.tools https://skip.tools for running SwiftUI on Android. I will go cross platform without ditching Swift.
But to be honest I am more likely to pursue web than native Android (Skip runs Swift natively on Android and binds SwiftUI to Compose) because Google is such a nightmare on top of Apple compared to the revenue Android apps tend to bring - I’ve seen others recently port 6 digit MRR apps to Android and make less than 1/100 as much for instance. But maybe for valuable language learning apps it wouldn’t be so bad. Anyway I am thinking to prioritize web apps first that could run on mobile too and perhaps later upgrade that into an Android app (whether with Skip for native UI or as a wrapper around web UI).
- bachrc 10mo agoAh my bad then, but I didn't know that SwiftUI apps where good on Android. I would love to be wrong actually
- wahnfrieden 10mo agoIt's exciting times for Swift. Viability for SwiftUI on Android and Swift in WASM has only really become possible in the last year or so. There is also a project called SwiftCrossUI which provides UI across Linux, Windows, macOS, Android, iOS, tVOS, TUI from one codebase.
