GUIMigrator translates existing Android XML layouts and resources into native Jetpack Compose or SwiftUI code. It parses layout trees, interprets UI roles through a semantic representation, and generates target-platform code. Across 31 apps, Compose SSIM averaged 81.9% and PSC 93.2%, exceeding GPT-5.2 on both measures. A four-developer SwiftUI study reported over 90% less time and code change on sampled layouts.
