Macworld The recently released 6.3 version of Apple’s Swift programming language features the official release of the Swift SDK for Android, which means that developers can now use Swift to write Android applications. Back in October 2025, Apple initially announced the SDK for Android and released a preview version. A Getting Started guide is available, along with examples, a project board for tracking tracking status, and a vision document. For the general user, Apple’s support for Android may seem odd, but it actually makes a lot of sense. Many developers create their apps for iOS first, and the new SDK (Software Development Kit) makes it easier to bring their software over–most Android apps are written in Kotlin or Java. When apps are written using the same SDK, it also makes it easier for feature parity between the two platforms. Developers who already have existing Kotlin or Java Android apps can use Swift Java and Swift Java JNI Core to integrate Swift code. Swift is an open source programming language created by Apple for developers to create software for the iPhone, iPad, Mac, and other devices. Apple offers Swift Playgrounds, and while it is targets towrads children, it’s a great way to anyone of any age to learn how to code.03:40 pmDeals – final 2 days of Big Spring Sale: M5 Pro MacBook Pro up to $199 off, unlocked iPhone Air, Magic Mouse/Keyboard, more | 9 to 5 MacDeals – final 2 days of Big Spring Sale: M5 Pro MacBook Pro up to $199 off, unlocked iPhone Air, Magic Mouse/Keyboard, more
