Supporting Go for app development would mean having to design a generics free API.

Also most likely why Android will never support Go officially.

Generics Free, No exception handling, also hard to support to shared libraries.

That's more cost than benefit.

Go doesn't really have a standard/stable ABI. The way you include one module inside another is by doing what amounts to a big #include on the source code.
