GoMobile official version

[myroid]

GO2 is coming soon, and sincerely hope that GoMobile can release an official version. This can give developers more confidence. And with the powerful of GO, GoMobile has unlimited potential.

What do you mean by an "official version"? Its master branch seems to work just fine.

@mvdan I think it refers to more publicity and details as a web page. But I am intrigued and expect more information.

@mvdan @AndrusGerman https://github.com/golang/mobile . As readme said

The Go Mobile project is experimental. Use this at your own risk. While we are working hard to improve it, neither Google nor the Go team can provide end-user support.

We're currently evaluating Go Mobile vs Kotlin/Multiplatform, and we're coming up short on the support-side of Go Mobile. There's scant information on Go Mobile plans moving forward, and whether or not it has the backing of the full Go team. We're worried it's a side-project and something that can be deprecated pretty quietly.

I'd love more info on future plans, and whether or not it will become a core part of the Go language.

At the moment it's unfortunately the case that support for Go on Mobile is best effort for the core Go team. It's being supported quite effectively by a range of people, but it's difficult to make any guarantees that that will continue. It's not that we don't want to support Go on Mobile, it's that we don't have the people and resources to focus on it.

@ianlancetaylor thank you for that, it was honest and clear and I appreciate it. We've actually been able to get a POC up and running with Go Mobile pretty quickly and easily, which is one reason I'd love to see a strong commitment to it in the future.

For now, I'll watch this space. 🙇

[myroid]

@ianlancetaylor Anyway, thank you very much for your team's efforts. I sincerely hope go on mobile has a stable development

Looks like this is resolved.
