Skip review

Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026

Skip turns shared Swift and SwiftUI code into native iOS and Android apps. Its approach is aimed at teams that want to work in Xcode while producing Android builds alongside iOS, rather than maintaining separate app projects. On iOS, it uses native SwiftUI; on Android, it produces Jetpack Compose UI. Developers can share interface and logic or add platform-specific implementations, making it relevant to Swift teams that need access to Android capabilities without treating the app as a web-based cross-platform project.

The platform fit is specific: Skip supports mobile targets on iOS and Android, with development on macOS through Xcode and Android Studio. Its documentation describes Lite and Fuse modes, a SkipUI compatibility framework, and platform integration frameworks. Shared code can call Kotlin and Java APIs on Android, while platform-specific code remains an option when a feature needs different implementations. The listed service integrations include Auth0, Firebase, LiveKit, Lottie, PostHog, RevenueCat, Sentry, Socket.IO, and Supabase. This gives teams named integration options, though the overall proposition centers on Swift-based mobile development rather than a broad set of deployment targets.

Skip is free and open source, with no per-seat pricing; its published pricing information describes no paid plans. That makes it an option for solo developers through enterprise teams who are comfortable with its language and tooling assumptions. Support channels are documentation and community, so teams seeking a dedicated support channel should weigh that fit. Choose Skip when shared Swift code and native iOS and Android output are the priority. Look elsewhere if your product needs non-mobile targets or your team does not want a Swift-centered workflow.

Skip pros and cons

• Where it wins
  • Shares Swift and SwiftUI code across native iOS and Android apps
  • Generates Android UI with Jetpack Compose and builds alongside iOS in Xcode
  • Allows Kotlin and Java API calls plus platform-specific implementations
• Where it doesn't
  • Targets iOS and Android rather than a broader range of platforms
  • Requires Swift and SwiftUI for the shared-code approach
  • Support is through documentation and community channels
