9 months ago, we announced that the BeeWare Project was the recipient of a PSF Education Grant. In late 2019, we choose Asheesh Laroia to do the work. Today, we're proud to announce that BeeWare's Android support has reached a point where it is ready for mass consumption.
For the last couple of months, we've had a contractor (Asheesh Laroia) working on fixing Android support in the BeeWare suite of tools.
I've incredibly happy to announce that we've just hit our first major milestone: a working pure-Python application, running on an Android device!
A couple of months ago, we announced that the BeeWare project had received a grant from the PSF to improve our support for Android. At that time, we issued a call for contractors to help us complete this work.
We're very happy to announce that we've now selected a contractor: Asheesh Laroia.
The BeeWare Project wants to make it possible for all Python developers to write native apps for desktop and mobile platforms. We have solid support for most desktop operating systems and iOS, but we know our Android support is lacking. The BeeWare core team knows what needs to be done to address the problem - what we’ve been missing are time and resources.
Google Summer of Code is coming to an end. I've spent the summer working on optimizing the VOC compiler, and I’m super excited to share the results.
asyncio support in VOCIn the blink of an eye, Google Summer of Code (GSoC) 2018 has come to an end.
During the three months long coding period, I have contributed several patches
in VOC repository of BeeWare, all working towards the ultimate end goal of
running asyncio module in VOC. In this blog post (which is my first actual
blog post by the way 😄), I will document what I have done so far, why I couldn't
make it to the end goal (yea, unfortunately I couldn't get asyncio to work at
the end of GSoC 2018), and what's left that needs to be done in order to achieve
the end goal (or at least make part of asyncio work).

After almost 4 months of work on Google Summer of Code 2017, finally I'm completing my proposal. Every widget migration and every commit/PR/issue/discussion with my mentors about Cricket , Toga and Rubicon-ObjC were detailed on the Issue 58.
With Google Summer of Code 2017 program nearing its end, it is time to summarize what I got done during the summer working on Batavia.
