Yep, now swift-nio is fully compatible with Android. This PR is a part of making Vapor/WebSocket compatible with Android, also you can check working fork here 😊
Next step will be swift-nio-ssl, and vapor related packages.

Nice performance improvements here, especially since for now the optimization is only enabled for the stdlib itself: https://github.com/apple/swift/pull/19690
