Today marks a personal milestone. After 10 years of wrangling iOS and Android support for CPython, there is an official final CPython release - 3.13.0 - that officially supports iOS and Android out of the box.

It's worth noting that today wouldn't have happened without a substantial grant from @ThePSF in 2020, and almost 3 years of 2xFTE funding from my employer, Anaconda. Turns out: funding open source gets results.

A huge Thank You is also due to:

* My partner-in-Bee-crime at Anaconda, Malcolm Smith, who has managed the Android side of things
* Ned Deily, for shepherding the iOS patches into core
* @encukou, for shepherding the Android patches
* Every contributor that has submitted a patch or bug report against @beeware mobile support over the years
* Everyone else that has put up with my Python-on-mobile Bee-S over the years.
