Overview
- Swift 6.3, released earlier this year, includes the first official Swift SDK for Android according to the project’s changelog.
- Developers can now build native Android apps in Swift and add Swift modules to existing Kotlin or Java projects.
- Integration tools called Swift Java and Swift Java JNI Core act as bridges so Swift code can call into Android code written for the Java Virtual Machine.
- The Swift Android Workgroup moved the SDK from an October 2025 preview to a stable release after months of work.
- Kotlin remains the primary language for Android, so Swift’s Android support expands developer choice rather than replacing current practice.
