There is an Android version. I am curious, are there people out there who use Android device to code? I tried a bit QPython but it was frustrating not to be able to use the app I created from outside of QPython.

There's actually not, Android is supported as a target, not a platform the IDE runs on.

There are IDEs that will let you develop and build APKs on Android that have been around and supported for a while, which I wouldn't expect if no one was using them (e.g., AIDE.) QPython isn't exactly the top-of-the-line in terms of coding environments that run on Android.

It can build for Android (aka you can make Android apps with it); it does not have a version running on Android. And yes, I use tablets and phones to code on, but nothing production yet. Cannot say it's that much less productive than on desktop though for what I do.

Edit: is iOS/Android building Xamarin or?

Edit2: Yep , this is Xamarin.

Interested in that. What's your "mobile stack"?
