Right..... I think you completely missed the point of this discussion. Nothing to do with running HIS apple app on 'droid. The point is to EMULATE apple in order that ANY person would be able to run ANY apple app on 'droid. It is for a school project -- probably (by the sounds of it) a GRADUATE THESIS or something similar... and he is attempting a FEASIBILITY ASSESSMENT (i.e. technical details why it would or would not be a good project and not your useless "for many reasons" statement).
He has also asked about the reverse process -- running native 'droid apps on apple. What you have provided, though looks like it might make a good starting point, is also useless since it operates at the SOURCE LEVEL to generate NATIVE applications for apple, which might be helpful for android developers to quickly and easily produce apple applications, BUT, it does not in any way offer any means of running a NATIVE ANDROID application on apple, which again, would require an emulator. At least with the source code, this would be feasible from a development perspective, unfortunately it would not be feasible from a PUBLISHING perspective due to applenazi policies. Note: android emulator on apple would be great from an academic standpoint, and would be a great way to make apple look like (more of) a horse's a$$.
