All of these frameworks are strongly tied to both Xcode and the actual iOS operating system itself and none of these elements have been open sourced by Apple.<br class=""><br class="">So the intention of the open source project is not to allow iOS (or OS X) applications in different environments but rather to allow applications native to those different environment to use and benefit from the Swift language.<br class=""><br class="">Hope this helps.<br class=""><br class="">Cheers,<br class="">Simon<div class=""><br class=""><div><blockquote type="cite" class=""><div class="">On 9 Dec 2015, at 6:19 AM, Kostiantyn Koval via swift-users <<a href="mailto:swift-users@swift.org" class="">swift-users@swift.org</a>> wrote:</div><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"><div class=""><div class="">Hi, <br class=""><br class="">I think it's not.
