# Reflect — Skip Fuse (SwiftUI/Kotlin)
## Key Pitfall
When adding a **new SwiftUI View** to the Reflect iOS codebase, Skip Fuse
does **not** auto-generate the Kotlin counterpart. A manual Kotlin stub is
required in **2 places**:
1. The View class file in the Android module
2. The registration/factory in the Android navigation/router
## Why
Skip Fuse transpiles shared SwiftUI code to Kotlin, but new View types
require explicit Kotlin stubs until Skip's transpilation coverage catches up.
## Checklist for New SwiftUI Views
- [ ] Add SwiftUI view as normal in iOS target
- [ ] Create matching Kotlin stub in `android/src/.../views/`
- [ ] Register in Android router/factory
- [ ] Run `./gradlew build` to verify no missing class errors
## `#if SKIP` vs `#if SKIP_BRIDGE` — Definitive Rule
| Macro | When to use |
|-------|-------------|
| `#if SKIP` | Any code that runs **only on Android** via Skip (UI layout, Android-only APIs, SAF file access). Works in all Skip-compiled code. |
| `#if SKIP_BRIDGE` | **Only** for JNI bridge calls: `AnyDynamicObject`, calling Kotlin statics from Swift, `import SkipBridge`. Available only in bridge modules. |
**Rule**: UI buttons, conditional layouts, Android-only views → `#if SKIP`.
`AnyDynamicObject(forStaticsOfClassName:)` and JNI → `#if SKIP_BRIDGE`.
Using `#if SKIP_BRIDGE` for UI will silently exclude the code on Android (it's not a bridge module), causing buttons/views to disappear with no error.
