It looks like Jetpack Compose is not really done yet. It's pre-alpha and the Jetpack Compose doc page says don't use it for production. https://developer.android.com/jetpack/compose/

I may be missing something, but SwiftUI seems to be pretty much ready to go today.

You are missing the fact that Android team doesn't want to have anything to do with Dart, and started a Kotlin everywhere initiative, including iOS via Kotlin/Native.

Ready to go today if you're only supporting iOS 13+

Which for most companies is 2+ years away

To add a bit more detail: the required level for other Apple OSs are macOS 15+, tvOS 13+ and watchOS 6+.

Except it’s not ready to go because it’s not backwards compatible it seems.
