Any interest in adding Swift to the NDK? #1745
-
|
I just saw the Rust roadmap, #1742, and wondered why there couldn't be one for Swift too. I provide Android SDKs for Swift that work with the official prebuilt Swift compiler for linux from Apple, no reason that couldn't be in the NDK since it is entirely open source. I'm able to cross-compile and run the tests for many Swift packages on Android in my daily CI shown there, and companies like flowkey and Readdle have been using Swift in their Android apps for years now. No reason the NDK couldn't enable more app devs to do the same, and I bet there are plenty who'd love to reuse their iOS business logic written in Swift in an Android app. As a sign of interest, if you are an app dev who'd like Swift in the NDK, just upvote this question. |

The most important part of the Rust thread is at the top:
If you want to know the story for Swift, it's basically the same. Copy/paste and
Staffing. The reason is staffing. IMO we're not adequately staffed to support C++, so definitely not also Rust and Swift. |
