+This post describes working with early preview builds of the Swift Android toolchain. As of Swift 6.3, Android is an officially supported Swift platform. See [Official Android support in Swift 6.3](/blog/swift-63-android-support/) for the latest, and the [Getting Started guide](/docs/gettingstarted/) for current setup instructions.

 You may already be familiar with [Skip](/) as a tool for bringing your Swift iOS apps to Android. Skip takes a novel *transpilation* approach, where we integrate with the Xcode build system to convert your Swift code into [Kotlin](https://kotlinlang.org). This allows us to create an Android library for every build of your Swift package, or to launch an Android version of your SwiftUI app on every Xcode `Run`.
 
 We've [discussed the advantages](/blog/bringing-swift-to-android/) of a transpilation-based strategy in the past. But despite the fact that Android is a Java/Kotlin-oriented platform, there are also significant benefits to compiled code. Skip has featured support for integrating with [C code](/blog/sharing-c-between-swift-and-kotlin/) on both Android and iOS for a long time. It only makes sense that our *transpiled* Swift code should also integrate with *compiled* Swift code.

 We are delighted to announce that the Skip Developer Program is now available! And for a limited time, we are offering a 50% Early Adopter discount for the first year to businesses who subscribe through this [pricing link](/pricing/?discount=early-adopter). When you become a Skip Early Adopter, your feedback determines where we focus Skip’s rapidly-expanding API support, and your bug reports are our top priorities.
 
 Skip is the only tool that enables you to develop a genuinely native app for *both* major mobile platforms, using the official toolkits from each vendor: SwiftUI on iOS and Jetpack Compose on Android. This means that your apps will look **and** feel native to users. Skip apps are fast and efficient, and they don't suffer from the high memory use and graphical jankiness of other cross-platform solutions.

 Skip brings your iPhone app to Android. With Skip, you can create a modern SwiftUI app with the standard iOS development tools, and Skip transforms it into a Kotlin app for Android. With Skip you can iteratively design, build, test, run, debug, and deploy a single app for both major mobile platforms using a single language (Swift) and a single IDE (Xcode). Watch our [12-minute tour](/tour) for a glimpse of the magic.
 
 Today we are pleased to announce that Skip will be **free** for all free open-source software.

 Building a dual-platform framework in Xcode builds your iOS code and runs the SkipStone build plugin. It does **not**, however, perform an Android build. Due to limitations on Xcode plugins, the only way to invoke the Android compiler is to run the module's unit test suite against the macOS destination, or to export the framework's build artifacts. For more information, see the [testing](/docs/testing/) and [deployment](/docs/deployment/) documentation.

-Skip's architecture relies on recent advances in the plugin system used by Xcode 15 and Swift Package Manager 5.9. When unexpected issues arise, often the best first step is to clean your Xcode build (`Product` → `Clean Build Folder`) and reset packages (`File` → `Packages` → `Reset Package Caches`). Restarting Xcode is sometimes warranted, and trashing the local `DerivedData` folder as well as your app directory's `.build` folder might even be needed.
