Build native apps for iPhone and Android with Skip

Skip brings Swift app development to Android. It is a tool that
enables developers to use a single modern programming language 
(Swift) and first-class development environment (Xcode) to build
genuinely native apps for both iOS and Android.

How Skip Works

As you build your Swift and SwiftUI app in Xcode, the Skip Xcode
plugin continuously transpiles it into the equivalent Kotlin and
Jetpack Compose for Android. Develop dual-platform libraries or
entire apps, with native performance and native user interfaces on
both platforms.

Benefits of a Dual-Platform Skip App

---------------------------------------------------------------------

Genuinely Native Genuinely Native

Genuinely Native

Skip apps don't just "look native", they are native: Swift and
SwiftUI on iOS, Kotlin and Compose on Android. You know the
difference, and so do your users.

Totally Transparent Totally Transparent

Totally Transparent

When you use Skip, no part of your app is hidden from your view... or
from your debugger. Skip transpiles your Swift directly into Kotlin
source code that you can inspect and customize.

Featherweight Featherweight

Featherweight

With SkipZero, your iOS app has no dependencies on any Skip
frameworks. And the resulting Android app only requires a few Skip
open source libraries.

Memory Efficient Memory Efficient

Memory Efficient

With no additional managed runtime, Skip apps are as efficient as
they can possibly be on both platforms: bare metal on iOS and ART
bytecode on Android.

An Idyllic IDE An Idyllic IDE

An Idyllic IDE

Skip's IDE is Xcode, the premiere app development environment for
iOS. For serious Android customization, open the generated code
directly in Android Studio.

Perfect Integration Perfect Integration

Perfect Integration

Skip generates standard Kotlin and Compose, so integrating with
Android libraries is painless. Call other Kotlin and Java code
directly, with no bridging required.

Foundationally Open Foundationally Open

Foundationally Open

Skip's transpiler is only half the story. The frameworks that
underpin iOS app development, such as Foundation and SwiftUI, are
made available on Android through Skip's free and open-source
reimplementations.

CI Friendly CI Friendly

CI Friendly

Skip transpiles unit tests too! You can ensure that your logic
performs identically across platforms. Run your tests headlessly
either locally or remotely, making acceptance testing a breeze.

Ejectable Ejectable

Ejectable

Your code is your own - both the Swift inputs and Kotlin outputs - so
you aren't locked into an ongoing dependency on the Skip transpiler.
