Building Native Apps with PHP
summary
Claims that PHP is compiled and run natively on iOS and Android, not just a web view, with a Laravel/Composer workflow; a demoable runtime called native PHP plus a testing Jump app and a kitchen-sync sample show SQLite and Eloquent local DB support and pluginable native APIs packaged as Composer packages (Composer and Laravel). Measured UI request/response is ~100 milliseconds with proofs of concept near 10 ms. Plugins in Swift/Kotlin compile into app and apps are shipable to app stores.
