As others, from the videos, I really like the tight Xcode integration. Reading the FAQ I do have few concerns,

1. Open-source, it mentions GPL forms, is there a reason MIT not mentioned? is that not considered open-source (especially with many iOS/Swift using MIT to be compliant with store distribution).

2. Packages, how does it handled packages? or the cases when you need to have branching for iOS/Android? the FAQ does not address this.

3. How Apple service APIs being handled on Android? I didn't look at the example weather app, but as an example, Apple got WeatherKit. or in my case case I use the built-in geolocation APIs.

My concrete example, I have a small app I've made. It uses geolocation from Apple (to detect country city, etc), It uses AdMob and Apple's built-in In-App / Subscription services.

I think this is a fair example of simple commercial product, and it'll be nice if you have some example for ads and in-app/subscription which might be important for closed/paid monetized projects...



- The LGPL license for Skip's libraries is the same license used in projects like WebKit. It does not interfere with using Skip in commercial, closed-source apps.

- Skip is based on Swift Package Manager and fully both dual-platform and iOS and Android-specific dependencies.

- Skip has a suite of dual-platform libraries, and for anything that isn't covered, multiple techniques for integrating platform-specific code and libraries. These include being able to use Kotlin right inline with your Swift and mix Compose code in with your SwiftUI.
