We're not actually sorry.

PHP 9 is expected to make redeclaring a constant a fatal error.

Tried @nativephp Jump app to avoid XCode or any IDE setup. 1. Built a Laravel/Livewire app (mobile-first design) 2. Ran a few Terminal commands, it launched a browser with QR code 3. Installed Jump app, scanned QR code 4. Done, I can use the app on my Android WOW. And, FREE. Course coming soon on Laravel Daily.

NativePHP for Mobile is now completely Free and Open Source 🎉 We're calling it Air Lighter. Faster. Leaner Build faster with Mimi. Test sooner with Jump. Build ANYTHING with Plugins Make. Ship. Happen.
