Where am I? What am I doing? Mobile App development in Python
summary
Claim: a real phone app is buildable and runnable with Python that reads GPS and takes photos. It uses the BWare suite with Toga for native UI and Briefcase to package, adds an OpenStreetMap Gradle dependency for Android, and requires declared permissions. The demo builds a two‑tab app (map + camera), uses async event handlers so the UI stays responsive, works on iOS and Android with simulator caveats, and needs a physical device for reliable camera tests.
