PHP Wasn't Supposed to Do That

Avatar of Felix Eymonot Felix Eymonot

Build a website with PHP. Build a mobile app with something else. It was a simple rule, almost self-evident, right up until the request every team eventually hears: the site is great, now we need an app. What follows is usually a new stack, new skills, new hires, and new lines in a README nobody reads.

Symfony UX Native bends that line. A single Symfony codebase, Twig templates, Doctrine entities, form types and all, becomes a real iOS and Android application through Hotwire Native. We'll write a bridge component live, and watch ux_is_native() reshape one template for two surfaces.

We'll also be honest about architecture, developer experience, and where the approach genuinely shines versus where it doesn't. No PHP developer was forced to learn Swift in the making of this talk.
