Hi fellow swift devs,

About a month ago we put an app on the Google Play Store 
<https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.flowkey.app> that has a 
large component written in Swift (we think it was the first). This couldn’t 
have happened without the awesome work and enormous support of the Swift 
community, especially @zhuowei and @modocache, others including William Dillon 
for his work on the Raspberry Pi port, and various members of the Apple Swift 
team for answering questions along the way. I want to take this opportunity to 
send a big thank you to all of you for this here!

In order to give something back to the community, I wrote some posts about the 
experience with the hope of encouraging more to give it a try themselves. If 
you’re interested in the idea of using Swift on Android, I’d be delighted if 
you took the time (about 15-20mins in total) to read the posts and share / 
recommend them. Here they are:

1. Why we put an app in the Android Play Store using Swift

 (mostly non-technical)
2. How we put an app in the Android Play Store using Swift 
<https://medium.com/@ephemer/how-we-put-an-app-in-the-android-play-store-using-swift-67bd99573e3c#.v60v3peru>
 (more technical, with code examples)
3. Using JNI in Swift to put an app into the Android Play Store 
<https://medium.com/@ephemer/using-jni-in-swift-to-put-an-app-into-the-android-play-store-732e542a99dd#.s67rhrvrt>
 (very technical, first principles)

I’d be happy to answer any questions here or in the comments sections there. 
Have a great Sunday!

In gratitude,
Geordie
