How do you port Android to iOS and vice versa?

Question

build for Android first? separate development teams? swift first? if your goal is to have a mobile app on both is there a process that makes sense or a shortcut to make the other?

Answer 1

there are usually ides and stuff that have that. unity has that for gamedev, for example

Answer 2

If you don't require fully native apps, maybe a cross-platform framework will do the trick. See https://www.sololearn.com/Discuss/347474/ for a list.

Answer 3

There are two common approaches:

1. Program the app once for Android and once for iOS. This is often used by big companies because they want their app to be optimized for both operating systems.

2. Use a framework programmed by other people in which you can code and this framework outputs to both Android and iOS. Such are Electrode, Unity and more.
