Linden Lab is working on a new app for Second Life during 2020 on iOS and Android. Beta release expected very soon.
The last post I made on mobile apps for Second Life was back in January 2010 for the IPhone. Since then Touch Life, Sparkle IM and AjaxLife have all gone offline.
Apparently Linden Lab is working on an iOS app solution for accessing Second Life and hopefully there will be a Android version of it. Hopefully there will be a prototype app released sometime this year if all goes to plan. Sansar may at some point go on mobile in the near future.
Below are iOS and Android apps which can be used to access Second Life and OpenSim as of 30th January 2019.

I am still using lumiya android app that I had to install from my old droid to my new one through an app transfer interface. An apk installer is nowhere to be found. It’s no longer being updated but still works like the day I first installed it. It’s a great little app and a shame the creator (Linette) abandoned working on it. Probably wasn’t cost effective.

Oh right. It’s a shame Lumiya does not get developed any longer.
