> Can I now build my app in Xcode with an Android target and use that binary in the Play Store?

No. The vision document[1] lays out the direction of travel. Currently the focus is on shared business logic and libraries, rather than full native applications (although that's certainly a goal, albeit a very long term one).

What do you mean?

This doc you linked is from August.

The blog post from today includes, in fact at the very top an XCode Swift project emulating a Pixel 9.

The docs include a detailed Getting Started for Android and they even have an Android examples repo.

Hence the SDK.

By all means, it very much is possible to build Android Swift apps in XCode.

The post doesn't display Xcode but Android Studio. While with Skip you can build & run through Xcode, that's not something we support right now.

You can build the Swift part in Xcode, VSCode or your favorite editor. But the Android builds don't work with Xcode today.


Isn't it kinda a bad sign that people on HN have to argue in comments about what your library/framework/sdk even does?
