## What is Skip?

Skip is a free, open-source tool for building native iOS and Android apps from a single Swift codebase. You write your app in Swift and SwiftUI, and Skip produces real Jetpack Compose for Android. Both sides are genuinely native: SwiftUI on iOS, Jetpack Compose on Android. No web views, no custom rendering engine, and no additional runtime.

Skip supports two development modes:

- **Skip Fuse** compiles your Swift natively for Android using the [official Swift SDK for Android](https://www.swift.org/blog/swift-6.3-released/#android). You get the full Swift language, standard library, and Foundation on both platforms, with bridging to call Kotlin and Java APIs when needed.

- **Skip Lite** transpiles your Swift source code to Kotlin, maximizing interoperability with existing Kotlin and Java libraries and the Android ecosystem.

Both modes map SwiftUI to Jetpack Compose using the [SkipUI](https://github.com/skiptools/skip-ui) compatibility framework, so your UI is native on each platform.

### Why Skip?

- **No new language to learn.** If you know Swift and SwiftUI, you already know how to build for Android with Skip. Other cross-platform tools ask you to write JavaScript, Dart, or Kotlin. Skip lets you keep writing Swift.

- **Truly native on both platforms.** Skip produces real SwiftUI on iOS and real Jetpack Compose on Android. Users get the native look, feel, and performance they expect.

- **Full ecosystem a
