Description
Other than our skipapp-travelposter and skipapp-travelposters-native samples (which need to be updated as they've fallen behind our adoption of the latest Kotlin/Compose compiler) and the blog post about them, we have virtually no instructions on how to properly integrate Skip into an Android app. This is important for people who want to only share part of their code. We need to cover not only "skip export" but everything else, including:
- How to add other necessary dependencies to the Android project, like Coil and CommonMark if they're sharing SwiftUI code.
- How to bootstrap Skip's reference to the Android Context through ProcessInfo.
- Be more clear about how to display SwiftUI views in an existing Android app.

Research direction
Start by reviewing the skipapp-travelposter and skipapp-travelposters-native samples and the existing blog post, noting where they lag behind the latest Kotlin/Compose compiler. Document Android integration for partial code sharing, including skip export, dependencies such as Coil and CommonMark, ProcessInfo-based Android Context bootstrapping, and displaying SwiftUI views in an existing Android app.
