Is there any way to write native apps for Windows Blackberry Android and Apple devices using Python

Question

Hi all,

So basically my requirement is covered in the question header. I just wanted to know if it is actually possible and plausible to develop applications for iOS and Android devices?

I have started mobile app development and I was very keen to know more about how I can achieve this using Python.

 Appreciate all the help I can get, cheers!

Hi,

This is an amazing Python framework just for this purpose: Kivy

I have personally developed using Kivy and I love it. It spans across multiple platforms ranging from Mac, Android, Linux etc. 

Note: Native iOS development is possible but it is quite cumbersome to do so because Apple doesn't allow native scripting using anything apart from their language.

And, I think you will be aware of the Android Scripting Environment (ASE), right? Well, even if you don't - It is basically a tool to allow scripts to run on the Android environment.

For iOS Python development, all you have to do is you need to embed a Python interpreter into the application and later distribute the script with it.

Well, we do that last part so we can follow the rules/guidelines set by Apple.

Hope this helps, let me know if you need anything else. Cheers!
