## What it is
Go mobile provides packages and build tools (gomobile, gobind) for writing all-Go mobile apps or building Go libraries that can be bound into Android and iOS SDK apps. It is an official experimental Go project.

## Use cases
- write android apps in go
- build ios apps with go
- use go code from swift or kotlin apps
- compile go library for mobile
- cross-platform mobile development in go

## When to choose
- you want to write an entire mobile app in Go
- you have existing Go code you want to expose as a mobile library via bindings

## When to avoid
- you need a fully supported, production-grade mobile framework with vendor support
- you need rich native UI tooling - the project is explicitly experimental with no end-user support

## Facets
- artifact type: framework
- maturity: experimental
- function: mobile-framework, build-tool, sdk
- domain: mobile-development, cross-platform, developer-tools
- platform: go, cross-platform
- tags: gomobile, go-bind, mobile-apps, language-bindings, android, ios
