Preflight Checklist

[X] I have read and I agree to follow the support disclaimer.
[X] I am sure that my feature request has nothing to with third party extensions.
[X] I am using the latest available Paperback version (currently 0.8).
[X] I have searched the issue tracker for a feature request that matches the one I want to file, without success.

What type of Apple device is the feature request for?

Mac computer

Describe the feature

I'd like you to support AOSP, or inform me why this isn't possible. Many thanks.

Feature Motivation

I'd be able to install this on any AOSP-derived OS.

Anything Else?

https://github.com/Paperback-iOS/app/issues?q=is%3Aissue+sort%3Aupdated-desc+Android+ returned 0 relevant results. I've set this to Mac because Macs can run VirtualBox, and thus run BlissOS. However, they can also run Asahi and WayDroid, and nothing fundamentally prevents a port of AOSP to M3.

Not feasible, I think. Most of the app is developed with Swift UI. While the Swift toolchain can be theoretically facilitated within Android through a tool like Skip, it doesn't actually make it work, rather transpiling to an equivalent such as Kotlin or React. Considering how complex the app actually is, I doubt it would "just work."

Making this possible would require creating an entirely separate version of the app that runs under a different UI and logic toolchain.
