Native Android

Over-the-air updates for Kotlin and Java apps, reusing the transpiler and Server-Driven-UI schema built for native iOS. This runtime is in development — the page below describes the design, not a shipping integration.

Planned setup

Native Android will follow the same shape as every other Birdify stack — one command to scaffold or link, then the standard release → patch flow. The command is not available yet; track progress on the roadmap.

bash

$ birdify android create ShopApp
# planned — not available yet

What will ship over the air

A Server-Driven-UI description of your screens, rendered as real Jetpack Compose or View-based Android UI — not a webview.
View logic and flow, evaluated in a sandboxed interpreter on device.
Copy, layout, theming, and feature-flag changes without a Play Store release.

Android's runtime rules are more permissive than iOS's, so the on-device half of this is simpler than the native iOS equivalent. The transpiler and schema are shared between the two.

What still needs the store

Anything requiring a new native capability — added Gradle dependencies, new permissions in the manifest, or platform APIs your build doesn't already link. The SDUI layer covers UI and logic on top of what the shipped APK or AAB can already do.
