Can we convert Android apps to iOS apps?

Android App Development

There are limited options available for converting Android apps into iOS apps, which are not so easy to work with. It’s a difficult task which requires lots of inbuilt skills and experienced developer. This question is something like off-beat and also hard to anticipate the facts, all depending upon how you interpret. It’s possible that you can replicate any OS app into Android, and even vice versa. You must keep in mind, the following points which seemed to be relevant in this process:

1.    Coding language

Since Android and iOS, both are written in different language, i.e. android in Java and iOS in Objective-C. It is assumed that it is possible to convert Android apps into iOS apps, if the coding part is satisfactorily done. There are some applications which will help you doing this in a simple way. For this process, you can write a wrapper and interface is with iOS.

2.    Rewrite the code

After that you need to rewrite the code for iOS. Generally problem arises for integrating and adapting the application to the framework in which it has to be written. There may be various companies who would assist your task.

3.    Availability of software

There are numbers of software available which may help you in converting Android apps into iOS apps. Java->C/C++ converters is available which are found helpful in this process. One fact about it is that it won’t respond when it comes to APIs differences. This thing takes place due to large number of applications which could be written using different services and API. At such time you may have to face difficulties because there may not be any software that can port it for you.

4.    Setting communication medium

You need to set up a medium of connectivity between OS specific parts and the core of your application. Apart from these basic things, you need to be an expert in those techniques which are usually involved in slotting programs from Android based management system to iOS.
