We don't have native mobile SDKs yet, but it's something we want to support in the future. Mobile is a little tricky since you either need to do a new release every time you want to start/stop a test or use remote config and deal with offline, slow networks, etc.

Not necessarily. Granted, you obviously need to make a network call at some point but you can host the entire experiment configuration in a file that is served through a CDN and the mobile client only needs to download it once (and it can be cached however appropriate for your use-case). The client SDK can then use the file to derive the experiment configuration by passing the required parameters to determine experiment allocation into the SDK which can then compute without further network calls.
