What did you do?

More a question. Gomobile reverse works well for Android, but i was wondering how to do it for swift.

What did you expect to see?

What did you see instead?

As far as I know there is no Swift support, nor anybody working on it.

I ask because swift is similar to golang and much more modern compared to objective-c. This makes it much easier to use.

Is there a specific problem you're trying to solve that you can't today? Go Mobile only generates ObjC bindings, but I know several projects that have used those with Swift with relative ease (Apple specifically designed Swift to be easy to interface with legacy Obj-C code). Moreover, the way to interface swift with C (and thus, Cgo) is with Obj-C bridges anyway; as far as I know, Swift doesn't interface with C directly.

The issue is doing golang to native flow.

I can call from native to golang using the gomobile bind technqiue. That allows me to run a web view for example with a localhost webserver responding.
In the same project i need to call from golang to native using the reverse techniques. For example fire a notification to the user. I can do this with objective c. i am guessing that its possible to mix swift and objective c ?
