StreetComplete on iOS is now in public beta

StreetComplete, an open-source mapping application, has entered the public beta phase for its iOS version. The project, coordinated through a dedicated GitHub ticket, aims to transition the app to the iOS platform by leveraging Kotlin Multiplatform technology. By utilizing Kotlin, a modern programming language compatible with JavaScript and machine code, developers can create a unified codebase for both Android and iOS.

The UI framework, Jetpack Compose Multiplatform, allows for shared UI code between Android and iOS, reducing platform-specific development efforts. Currently, about half of the iOS port has been completed, with the remaining work distributed across a project board containing various tasks for community contributions. Potential helpers can choose from existing tasks or learn technologies like Jetpack Compose and Compose Multiplatform to contribute effectively.
