I always found non-native apps too out-of-place. Please use Swift on iOS and Kotlin on Android.
Swift is just a programming language, I thought?
Yes.
Unless I am also mistaken, they are seeking to make a supported language to android development.
Which will save mobile devs having to learn two languages, and also allow reuse of code.
Kotlin multiplatform has been around for some time if you want that. But I guess it makes sense to be able to approach it from the other end as well if you're mainly an iOS shop.
It's the only approach that can be taken, as Android being open source can make Swift a first class supported language. Apple will be apple.
Yeah Swift isn’t SwiftUI.
That's theoretically right, but all concrete examples I've seen so far use some generic UI framework that don't work well.
Why would it be any different to C or C++?
I guess it's not.
