SwiftUI for Frontend and Java for Backend

Question

I want to create an app using SwiftUI but not necessarily for the backend pieces. I would prefer to use Java for that. How would I go about connecting a java backend to an app if that is even possible.

Answer 1

I'm assuming that you want to maximize cross platform code

Kotlin Mulitiplatform aims to do just this.

It isn't Java its Kotlin.

It is alpha now and scheduled to be in beta in the spring but it is coming along.

I've only barely touched it but it is a seamless transition between iOS and Android.
