According to a comment on MakeUseOf.com:
In general iPhone Apps will not work on anything but iOS.
If you developed the App yourself [and have the Source Code] it depends on the tools you have used.
If you used Xcode all the way the App would be in Objective-C [which is hardly supported outside the Apple world] with Cocoa APIs [which are Apple only].
This means you would have to re-write the entire App.
If you used some other base (Java, C++) and some porting platform there might be a chance that there are tools to port it to other mobile platforms as well.
i think the answer the OP is looking for is a yes or no
as far as im aware its not available on android yet. Cant recommend an alternative as i dont really know what instagram does.
Hey!
We know, that we can't run Android apps on Ubuntu Touch. The UT is a great operating system, but it has a big problem. It doesn't have any "neccessary" or "must have" applications NOW. These apps are the following by the community's opinion: FacebookMessenger, WhatsApp, Google Maps, a browser (like Chrome, Opera mini or Firefox), instagram, etc.
So, I want to know, that we are possible to port these (or any other) Android apps to UT, or not? If the answer is yes, i want to create a team. In this team i want to port Android apps, or create this apps alternatives.
Guess not much up in the forums
Request: Simyo Call Status App [Netherlands]
Hi there,
I haven't been on the xda forums a lot since the end of 2009 I believe but, since Canonical announced Ubuntu Touch this year, I have my reasons to pick up browsing the forums again. The Ubuntu Touch region, specifically.
Now, you were asking if there's any Android Apps to port to Ubuntu Touch.
I have a request that might not be of interest to a lot of people but will get pretty important to me once a 'user version' of Ubuntu Touch is released:
Simyo Netherlands provides an App to check your current "Belstatus" or call status.
This app provides me (on my iPhone) with the current remaining minutes/sms messages and remaining data (megabyte) for the current month within the contract.
Below the link to the Android equivalent in the Play Store, which might be portable to an Ubuntu Touch app:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=nl.simyo.mijnsimyo
Let me know if this is something you'd be interested in doing.
I might be of some help being a C# programmer, but I still need to check out the Ubuntu Touch SDK (my HTML5 and QML knowledge is poor) and that's something I won't be able to very soon....

I have a little bit of C# knowledge, but i'm good in HTML5, so this is a good beginning i think.

You can port any already existing apps that are found on Android, you just need the API from the app developers.

No, there's no tool like that for Ubuntu Touch (yet?).
I'd be willing to port my Android apps to Ubuntu touch. Does the work need to be done from scratch? Is there a simpler way to port a java, native, android app to Ubuntu?
I can't contribute anything app-wise, but this sounds like a really good idea; best of luck!
Ubuntu-Touch must LIVE! I have use it and it is cool system. Some problems with applications time to time appeares. And it is very hard find developers for apps. But I think if required apps appeares -- more people move to UT. And first of all that system must use NOT for games.

Till last some years UT has some changes. For example appears OpenVPN network manager in a base apps. But unfortunately that feature with unresolved bugs. Also I didn't find any browsers like QupZilla/Mozilla FireFox or Lynx. So As for me we required updated OS for first. And normal browser. Current versions of browsers are unusable. That i big part of work. For that required powerful developers group. I try to compile and run some examples to UT but unfortunately unsuccessful. But I try. Who also try do something but with successful result?
I need to create an app from scratch for my local school. I have some experience in Python. What do I need to learn and how can I go about making this app?
It also needs to be able to support all types of devices, such as Windows and Apple.
Each platform (android, iOs, WindowsPhone) needs an own app. So you have to code same app three times.
But there are some frameworks like PhoneGap which creates all three apps out of one code.
If you want to use PhoneGap ur App must be coded in Html, & JavaScript.
If you want to code native Apps, you have to use Object-c for iOs, Java for Android and C# or C++ for WindowsPhone.
Regards
I cant program an app in C for Android. I didn't know that.

Which is better to learn? Html or Java? I have plenty of time to learn the language, just need to know where to start. I would moest likely use PhoneGap.
there is no comparison of both the languges but if you are asking for development then you must go with java :thumbup:

Depending of the complexity of the App, the time you have it for delivery it and other factors, you can choose from make a native App or a Hybrid App.
Native App: You need to use the native languague of each platform, which means that you need codify the same app for each platform on their native languge.
Hybrid App: One code for all platforms, in this case you codify the app with web technologies like HTML and JavaScript using frameworks like PhoneGap, Appcelerator and many others you can find in the web.
Other thing that is important when you are choosing between those two approach is that the performance of the native App will be always better, but for simple Apps, the hybrid approach offers a good overall performance.
Best regards!
Hello guys,
I'm sorry for the stupid questions but I'm very new to mobile development. Your help would be very important.
Does anyone have experience with both dot42 and Xamarin to develop C# apps for Android?
Xamarin looks nice, but it seems that in order to have Visual Studio integration you should subscribe the business package which is quite expensive. So I've seen that dot42 has VS integration for free.
I know that I could use Xamarin Studio for free. But here are some questions about this:
- does the VS integration mean that you can use all the libraries that you can use for normal desktop apps developed in VS?
- is the GUI building similar as the one that can be created for desktop apps once one develop for Android in VS?
- if I want to chart something, I have seen that in Xamarin Studio I should buy some component. There is just a bar chart for free. If I have something integrated with VS can I use the chart tool we have in VS directly?
Thanks a lot for your help.
New to xda; WELCOME ME.
For years Runescape has been talked about in terms of being ported onto a mobile platform. It was never really possible as Java cannot be installed on Android or IOS natively. People are currently settling for AlwaysOnPC at around 2fps or using a remote desktop program and running it directly from their PC, as if streaming it with input.
My question is, is it possible to run the new platform that Runescape now runs on, HTML5? If so, I want to start developing an app to do so. Chrome on Android itself supports HTML5 so if you were to download the entire cache (although it would be huge) and load it directly onto an apk, would it work? Obvious UI changed would need to be coded but it seems plauble to me. Any ideas?:good:
