Code generation for iOS and android

Question

I'm searching for a framework to create apps for both Android and iOS from one codebase. I'm aware of Appcelarator and PhoneGap etc. However I need a different kind of product. I'm not sure if it exists. I can't find it here or on google.

We are a team of Android and iOS developers and aren't afraid to build natively. What I want is a tool to help me jumpstart development. Preferably a tool where I can create the basic UI and Models and generate native code to use as basis for further development.

Does such a tool exist?

Answer 1

Have you seen Mono??

iOS

• Note: Make sure you following the instructions on the MonoTouch website re installation
• Development tools (Free): XCode + Interface Builder (http://developer.apple.com/devcenter/ios)
• MonoTouch ($399USD): http://monotouch.net/
• Register for developer program/app store ($99USD): Register

Android

• Note: Make sure you following the instructions on the MonoDroid website re installation
• Development tools (Free): Java JDK, Android SDK
• MonoDroid (public beta): monodroid-download
• Register for developer program/market ($25USD): Register

Don’t forget for the iOS component you’re going to need to go buy a Mac to use.
