It might still be worth saying (as i'm often surprised by this not being
more known) that Kivy is able and used by a lot of people to develop
Android applications in Python, with the same widgets whatever the
platform, so you can develop and test your application on desktop
(Win/OSX/Linux) directly, and know that it will look and behave the same
on Android (and IOS), then package/deploy it to the target platform
using buildozer. (for IOS a mac with xcode is still required, for
Android either Linux, or OSX, or WSL in windows can be used).
