The introduction of the Swift SDK for Android represents a significant step forward in cross-platform development. With this first preview release, developers can now more easily port Swift packages to Android. This is an important step in establishing Swift as a stable platform for Android, similar to what it already does for iOS and desktop operating systems.
The Android Workgroup, founded in June 2025, aims to establish Android as the official platform for Swift. Although it was already possible to use Swift for Android, it required a lot of customization and additional tools. With the new SDK, this process is made much easier.
A central goal of the Android Workgroup is to provide the direct interface for the APIs on Android’s Java Virtual Machine (JVM). Additionally, work is underway to integrate Swift into the CI pipeline to enable automated testing. However, it is currently not possible to debug Swift applications on Android.
The Swift SDK for Android offers an interesting alternative to Kotlin Multiplatform developed by JetBrains. While Kotlin works seamlessly with Android as a JVM language, integrating it into iOS is a challenge due to the lack of JVM. The Swift SDK could bridge the gap here and make it easier to develop cross-platform applications.
The release of the Swift SDK for Android could have a significant impact on the developer community. It opens new possibilities for developing applications that run on both iOS and Android. This could be of particular interest to companies that want to offer their apps on multiple platforms.
