Scrumskipper: Running Apple's SwiftUI sample app on Android

Scrumdinger is Apple’s canonical SwiftUI iPhone app. In this post, we’ll use Skip to run Scrumdinger as a native Android app as well!

Honed and updated over the years, Apple’s Scrumdinger tutorial is an hours-long step-by-step guide to building a complete, modern SwiftUI app. It exercises both built-in UI components and custom drawing, and it takes advantage of Swift language features like Codable for persistence. As its rather unique name implies, the Scrumdinger app allows users to create and manage agile programming scrums on their phones.

This blog post begins where Apple’s tutorial ends. We’ll start with the final Scrumdinger source code and walk you through the process of bringing the full app to Android using Skip. You’ll learn the general steps involved in bringing an existing app to Android, and you’ll become familiar with the types of issues you may encounter and how to overcome them. Let’s get started!

You can get the full Scrumdinger source code from the last page of Apple’s SwiftUI tutorial. Here’s a direct link to the zipped Xcode project:
