What’s the best way to convert an iPhone app to Android?

Android App Development

There is a lot of difference between iPhone apps and android apps. Android and iOS platform differ to a great extent and so does the expectations of consumers from the apps of respective platforms.  The above two differs in terms of architecture of the visual components and the way they act. The applications provided by iPhone are much earlier than those of Android, but still the demand for android app is more than that of iPhone and hence calls for more demands for Android app development.

Android is now one of the world’s most commonly used smartphone platform. It is more in demand, owning it for its affordability, and many of the mobile manufacturers these days are switching to Android Operating system. There are several pros of Android app over iOS such as highly customization user experience, massive hardware selection, apps are cheaper and its cross platform nature makes it more flexible and in-demand.

All the flashy apps in iOS are craved by other platforms for all good reasons. However, it cannot be denied that the only way to convert an iOS app into Android app is to write the code from scratch. The programming language of the iOS is written in objective-C which is then modified to Swift language and both the language can be used together in an iPhone. The Swift code can be used side-by-side with the Objective-C. The programming language for Android are built in Java and XML and are always on the process of Android app development.

Java language used in Android is more easier to learn and deal with rather than the older low level language Objective-C used in an iPhone.

A tool has been developed by a student from Columbia which allows to run the native iOS applications on Android. Cycada (formerly known as cyder) is an operating system which enhances the applications to run in different operating system rather than the only one for which they are designed. This makes it handy for iOS and Android apps to be used on the same smart phone or tablet.

The Android app development in previous days were done with Ecplise using ADT, which was the google customized Android development kit. This has been replaced today with a Android Studio which highlights the error very quickly.

On the other hand, the iOS uses xcode which requires explicit built stage to identify and reveal errors, if any. So one can see that there is a lot of difference in the two operating system and conversion of I-phone to Android is not so easy if you are looking for precision and reliability.
