Another new bee in the hive - Malcolm Smith! github.com/mhsmith Malcolm brings his considerable experience maintaining @chaquopy, which has been invaluable in improving BeeWare’s Android support. We’re incredibly excited to have him on the team!

If there’s a package you want for Android, open a ticket on the Chaquopy repository: github.com/chaquo/chaquopy/i… for iOS packages, open a ticket here: github.com/freakboy3742/chaq… These are temporary homes; we want to move to a “forge”-style community-managed model in the near future.

For a full list of the packages that are supported, see chaquo.com/pypi-7.0/ for Android, and anaconda.org/beeware/repo for the list of iOS packages.

This doesn’t mean that *every* binary package is automatically supported; a package needs to be compiled for iOS or Android, and that often requires patches. But we’ve ported ~40 of the most popular binary packages, including numpy, pandas, pillow, matplotlib, cryptography & more

Do you want to use numpy, cryptography, or another third-party binary module in your iOS or Android project? Now you can! Briefcase v0.3.10 has just been released, with support for binary third-party modules on mobile platforms!

Yeah - it’s a different use case. Briefcase is focussed on the “Desktop GUI app” use case, which also maps well to “Mobile app”; packaging a command-line tool has a very different set of requirements (not the least of which is “a single (binary) artefact”).

It may not look like much - but this is a test suite running CPython on iOS… that is loading it’s standard library from binary modules. There’s still some things to sort out, but binary extension module support for iOS is getting *really* close.

It is *impossible* to debug code from a screenshot of a crash, knowing *nothing* about the actual program being executed.
