Issue Description:

It would be really nice to be able to use Swift for Android on OS X. Considering the origins of Swift, it seems almost absurd that we have to use Linux to develop Swift on Android.

I agree![]( #2497 was merged last week; I wonder if that's made this possible. I'm trying it out now, keep your fingers crossed) 🙂

I noticed that @modocache's pull request was merged. Is this issue fixed now? If so it would be really helpful to update the documentation in docs/Android.md.

v.gorlov (JIRA User) has made this work, but I don't think all his patches have been upstreamed yet.

Comment by Vlad Gorlov (JIRA)

@buttaface In one of the custom toolchain releases (about 3 month ago), the Swift source code (and also Foundation and Dispatch sources) were built without using patches. But than the situation changed again :0

IMO: This is seems what we need to do in order to have reliable "Swift Android" builds on macOS:

  1. Integration of ICU, curl, SSL, XML forks into Swift sources.

  2. Updating build scripts.

  3. Integrating into CI (macOS).

  4. Add "Swift Android" macOS target to CI checks for PRs.
