Skip, a tool that converts Swift code to run natively on both iOS and Android, has been fully open-sourced with version 1.7. The team removed all paywalls and subscription models, making the core engine 'skipstone' and source code publicly available on GitHub. Previously operating without venture capital, Skip now relies entirely on community funding through GitHub Sponsors. The tool aims to solve cross-platform mobile development challenges by delivering native apps instead of wrapped web apps, supporting modern Swift, Kotlin, SwiftUI, and Jetpack Compose.
