Signal desktop client is actually Electron based. And AFAIK, Electron doesn't run on Android, only on the desktop.
Electron does run on Android, see Element Android or Discord for example. I thought we were talking about mobile.
Are you sure about that? That would be surprising for me, as I had never before heard about Electron running on mobile.
A quick dive in Element Android's dependencies didn't reveal any mentions of Electron, but perhaps it's referenced in some other way.
