Overview of Gomobile and Its Use Cases
summary
gomobile builds either a native app (outputs APK or .app) or a library (generates .aar for Android and .xcframework for iOS) and uses Cgo and the Android NDK required workflow to produce shared .so binaries; UI is limited to a single-screen limitation with no built-in buttons so the demo 2D shooting game uses the Sprite Engine and OpenGL for textures and runs but shows touch/key bugs; debugging is hard because code becomes native binaries; mentions EbitEngine, Fyne and Gio.
