It'll take you thirty minutes to port the shaders with a modern LLM.

I am not joking. I have done this. Shaders are pretty simple. You'll have some weird artifacts but thats more because of platform differences than translation errors.

Metal cannot be used on Android. Your business logic can be ported - if it's separated as a library. If you don't want to separate it, Skip can handle bridging a lot of Apple libraries including SwiftUI.

Thanks - I see, so swift packages for everything.

What would be the equivalent shader / GPU language on Android? OpenGL?

Vulkan with glsl to spirv compiler would be equivalent

OpenGL or Vulkan, you might be able to have some luck transpiling metal shaders to spirv-cross at a cursory look

Sometimes it is easiest to have an agent like Codex rewrite the shader instead...

Yeah I would also like to see SwiftUI but its apple ecosystem only.
