We wouldn't say that is the point of using Skip. The benefit you get from using Skip is that you can use a single language and a single framework for building your app, and you can iterate on your app's development without needing to constantly context-swift between different worlds.
But there is no denying that at some point, you will need to interact with the Android universe: you will need to run the app on an Android emulator or device to test it, you will need to use Android Studio (or IntelliJ) to run the app in a debugger, you will need to grapple with the Android-specific nuances of deploying you app to the Play Store.
