Pythonista is awesome. Although it hasn’t been updated in 2 years and only supports 3.10, it’s still a beautiful and capable Python IDE.

Now that iOS and Android are Tier 3 platforms, we should be getting closer to the day that we can generate an IPA or APK from our Python project in a single click.

As far as I know, you can generate an APK from a Python project, using python4android and buildozer. I never got it to work though..

But you can compile an APK from Java/Kotlin source (both your own and 3rd party OSS apps) and install it on your device, the app to do so is called CodeAssist.

That would be really cool. I've an iPad pro and keyboard that I've love to use more for adhoc coding and projects and not just reading comics. :D

You can code in Swift and even submit to the App Store using Swift Playground using an iPad [1].
