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.

Get StartedHow Skip Works
As you write your Swift and SwiftUI source, the Skip Xcode plugin continuously builds the equivalent code 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
Skip apps don’t just “look native”, they are native: SwiftUI on iOS and Jetpack Compose on Android. You know the difference, and so do your users.
Totally Transparent
When you use Skip, no part of your app is hidden from your view… or from your debugger. Skip’s libraries are open source, and there is no complex runtime to debug.
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
With no additional managed runtime, Skip apps are as efficient as they can possibly be on both platforms.
An Idyllic IDE
Skip’s IDE is Xcode, the premier development environment for Swift. For serious Android customization, incorporate Kotiln written directly in Android Studio.
Perfect Integration
Skip bridges seamlessly with Kotlin and Compose, so integrating with Android libraries is painless.
Foundationally Open
Swift-on-Android is only half the story. Skip’s app development frameworks are all free and open-source.
CI Friendly
Skip has cross-platform unit tests too! Ensure that your logic performs identically across platforms. Run your tests either locally or remotely, making acceptance testing a breeze.
Ejectable
Your code is your own – both the Swift inputs and Android outputs – so you aren’t locked into an ongoing dependency on the Skip tools.
