Hi,

Gomobile is in maintenance mode, has lots of open issues and it's usage seems decreasing on surveys.

Is there anyone using it in production ?

What do you think about the future of gomobile ?

My Best,
Serdar

Some large logging and metrics companies provide gomobile based packages. The packages are used by other making gomobile systems

Admittedly it's rather old now.

Boltdb works on mobile and is supported.

Caddy works on mobile and is supported.

I have used it for a few projects and it's been sturdy.

The binding issues are easy to get around if you just pass binary data. Some use protobufs. Admittedly it's a crude work around by not too horrible

Could you explain what you mean by just passing binary data? 

I am currently trying to build an SDK using Golang mobile, and it's a bit frustrating with all of the binding issues


Thanks,

Kev
