Where is there a similar forum for Android AND iOS phones? - General Questions and Answers

I want to get an app created that will work on both Android and iOS.
I'm new, and THIS looks to be a Magnificent forum for Android stuff,
but I need the app to work on Both systems.
Any ideas?
Thanks.

[Q] Convert Iphone App to Android app

Hi,
I currently am new to android and am starting to love it. I currently am a developer for the Apple App store and would like to transfer my Xcode over to android and start doing code in the android SDK. I have the Xcode and was wondering if anyone could convert it for me or send me to someone/somewhere that could help me convert the code for a small fee or for free.
The app is a simple navigation app that should be pretty simple to setup and initiate. I'm basically done with dumb apple stores and their rules that I can't make more apps because their tight wads. Anyways... any help would be great.
Thanks,
Brandon
nvm delete....

Where does he say anything about Warez? He developed an App for the App Store and now he wants to convert it for Android use.
you got me on that one i completely overlooked that part lol my bad.
If you know how to develop in JAVA then you may have to write your code for your app again. It isn't easy to just "port" iPhone applications to Android.
if it were as easy as porting code from objective c to java then the market would be flooded with tons more iphone apps... you have to rewrite the app from a programming sense pretty much. there are tools with which you can write apps from scratch that will work on both platforms but you can't send xcode to android and expect anything.

I dont expect to convert it without any hard work. I basically am wanting to give the code to someone. Who maybe for a small fee. Can recreate the app for the android. I know it probably isn't going to be super cheap, but since the idea is already there. I was just wondering if anyone would be able to help me out on this issue. I just mainly want to have someone recreate my app, and then possibly do a small overview of how to make it function like my apple app in a sense.
Android Studio and XCode are completely different. You should rewrite the application if you are going native. You can use HTML tools such as Intel XDK, PhoneGap, Cordova for cross-platform apps but they don't have the power of native development.

[Resolved] [Q] can i install iOS on Android

Hi everyone,
I am new to this forum and this is my first post
I have a Huawei Ascend Y320 (Android 4.2 Jellybean, dual-core processor etc), and I have heard that it is possible to run iOS on an Android device.
I have seen a similar thread discussing this topic... but the 'how-to' link in the thread does not load the desired page
I have also found this through a Google search 'iosonandroid' However the page forces one to make purchases for products and services that I don't want and don't furthermore trust.
So, that brings me back to my question, can one run iOS on Android...?
Please don't knock me for this, as though I quite like Android OS, I need to access iOS apps, such as 'iMovie', and other similar video editing/movie making software.
Android has many apps for such purposes, however, most are merely clones of Androids' stock Movie Maker, which has limited abilities, and can be quite buggy. I have managed to find a couple of great video editing/movie making apps on Google Play, but I would still be keen to be able install iOS apps to broaden my capabilities.
Any constructive help would be much appreciated
Cheers,
Harry
I'm going to answer your question quickly before someone thinks it'll be funny to troll you.
Sadly I will have to say, you cannot run iOS on Android, some developers have found a way to run iOS apps on Android but they haven't released much info on that.
The sites that say, you can run it. They're all bullcrap and just want you to register and fill out surveys. If there was iOS for Android, I'm sure it'd be on YouTube, and here on xda.
So again, you can't run iOS on Android.

Thanks for that Glad I got a 'straight to the point' answer from you, I really appreciate that.
I have seen evidence of heavy trolling on other threads... which makes it extremely difficult for people like myself trying to work out a solution to a query or problem.
And yes, I did wonder about the survey/register blah blah spam on the 'iOS on Android' website. I am glad I did not go through with the process, as it seems especially dodgy considering there is no way of contacting the dev....
Exactly, and the thing is, there is no specification for the device. It just has pictures of samsung and htc phones with the iOS screenshot and then the requirements on the page is based on Android OS versions... And it supports eclair. Lol.
Maybe sometime in future some smart developer will figure out how to run iOS on Android.

An IoS app converted to Android

Guys there's a super handy snapchat alternative client on IoS called SnapBlack and/or SnapSilver and I was wondering if any dev or somebody really good at programming could port the apps or help me get the app on android I would really appreciate it.

Please tell me how to convert Android App to IOS.

Please help, thanks a lot.
Is it possible?
In general, for some app, developers have to develop a version for Android while another version for iOS.
There's a tool called "J2ObjC: Java to Objective-C Translator and Runtime", but that'll only convert your Java code into Objective C (While you'll probably want your code in Swift). It also can't help with converting your UI from the Android to iOS equivalent.
You'd be best to recreate your Android app from scratch for iOS.

First, it doesn't work like that, porting from android to iOS won't work.
Second, we don't deal with Apple devices or iOS in any way, shape or form here at XDA, this site is for android, not iOS.
Go find an Apple forum.

Best phone for android app development

I'm currently developing an android app that needs to communicate with a device over Bluetooth, so using the emulator is out of the question.
What is the best android device to buy for testing/development, if you don't have any specific recommendations what are the things to look out for? Coming from the iOS world here.
Any help would be appreciated

Any device will do the job, there is no need to use a specific device. Apps are apps and they work on all phones, provided that the app is compatible with the android version on the device. Some apps require at least a certain version of android but that should not be an issue as long as you are using a relatively recently released device and if you are working with current android versions.
