Skip 1.0 is here at last! With Skip, you can finally create truly native cross-platform apps for #iOS and #Android without making any compromises. Checkout #skiptools to get started for free.

Wow, it's getting good for developers though. The tech community is headed in the right direction but only if Apple officially supports it. Kotlin Multiplatform translates the logic into native code but the Compose Multiplatform UI uses a custom Canvas rather than relying on platform specific components. Just a side note:- you need to work on maintaining the contrast ratio between your Apps background and the system's status bar on the Android side.

Looks very promising! Three questions: Is there any runtime overhead on android vs native JetpackCompose views? Is there a way to output debug messages written for iOS in the build for android? Can I write unit and ui tests for swift and have it transpile to kotlin and jetpack compose tests? Marc Prud'hommeaux

I like this approach much better than the common Javascript-based systems that compromise native user experiences for the platforms and make debugging nearly impossible. Acknowledging that users want apps that feel at home on their platform and without compromised performance is a great starting point.

Interesting alternative, I would like to ask how feasible it is to migrate an existing iOS project to use Skip framework

Looks cool! Let’s see if Android developers are as excited about this as they want us iOS developers to be about Kotlin Multiplatform :)
