Something you'd have to consider is that Android has a screen/app lifecycle that Apple products don't. If you're working with ionic, you have to care about this. What ever swift library you use, it has to make these lifecycle concepts available to you.

are you referring to the lifecycle events like onResume and onPause? You can approximate those with iOS using a combination of viewWillAppear and UIApplicationWillEnterForegroundNotification

I am referring to those. If someone just tries to make Swift the platform, I think they will have to put as much thought into their tooling as xamarin, cordova, etc.
