An update on this: x86 support is "done". We currently have a toolchain that builds for x86_64 at least, which is enough to support the Android Emulator at full speed. I will leave this Issue open until we update swift-android-toolchain
with updated instructions
Motivation
At the moment we can only build for
armv7a
. While this covers the great proportion of Swift devices on the market today, it'd be great to build for x86 devices as well for two main reasons:Proposed solution
"Somebody" needs to make a PR on Apple's Swift repo adding support for Android x86. I suspect this won't be anywhere near as involved as the original port, but it would be a non-trivial piece of work that as far as I know has not been attempted yet.
