Note that while this is very interesting, it does not equal to GNOME apps becoming available for Android, since it's a very different platform on many more levels than just the toolkit. More on reddit.com

And, maybe the biggest news: We have an Android backend now. It is still experimental, so you should expect some rough edges and loose ends. For example, there is no GL renderer support yet. But it is exciting that you can just try gtk4-demo on your phone now, and have it mostly work.
