First of all, the basic problem with an iOS port is that it would not be distributable through the App Store (its terms are GPL-incompatible). This is the reason why an iOS port was not pursued in the past, and nothing has changed: see http://www.fsf.org/blogs/licensing/more-about-the-app-store-gpl-enforcement That aside, there are a number of options: XMLVM (http://xmlvm.org) can convert (compiled) Android apps to run on iOS, including GUI components, though how complete the support is is something that would need to be checked. RoboVM (http://www.robovm.org) provides a set of Java classes and tools to compile native iOS applications, but the GUI parts will need to be written from scratch. Similarly, j2objc (https://github.com/google/j2objc) can convert Java to Objective C, aimed primarily at converting Android code to iOS, but, again, there is no GUI support. -- <Sefam> Are any of the mentors around? <jimregan> yes, they're the ones trolling you ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Managing the Performance of Cloud-Based Applications Take advantage of what the Cloud has to offer - Avoid Common Pitfalls.
