Convert an iPhone app to android
-
After 15+ years, we've made a big change: Android Forums is now Early Bird Club. Learn more here.
I'm not a app dev, though I've pounded code in the past. AFAIK, iPhone apps are coded in C where Android apps are coded in Java. Though they are similar languages, an iPhone app will need to be fully recoded to work on android but the learning curve for the developer should be short. That's my $0.02. We'll see what my buddy (SA) has to say.

LOL, how'd you know I'd be long here, Unforgiven?
.I'm guessing there might be some enterprising person that's figured-out a way to convert an app, but the environment (kernel and operating system) just are so different (different APIs, etc.) it would be most difficult to get a successful result.
There are some apps that are coded using Adobe Air--which allows an app to basically be written once and easily re-compiled to work on iOS or Android. You'll find several apps that are common to both iTunes App Store and the Google Play Store.
