The Android Workgroup is currently drafting a direction document for Android, clarifying priorities and leading community efforts. It also has a public project board to track the status of key initiatives. Anyone can join the Android Workgroup.
'This milestone builds on years of grassroots community effort and is the culmination of months of hard work by the Android Workgroup,' said John Orlandos, head of the Android Workgroup. 'With this SDK, developers can start building Android apps in Swift, opening new avenues for cross-platform development and accelerating innovation across the mobile ecosystem.'
