Hi Mehdi, There are no official Podman binaries or packages provided by upstream for Android. But as you've mentioned: Android is based on Linux, so it should be technically possible to run Podman there.

Thanks Paul, The linked gist in that issue for running Docker on Android is very insightful. The bottom line send to be that we'll need a custom kernel compiled for it. If it then works with Docker, it should do with Podman as well.
