How can one develop iPhone apps in Java? [closed]

Is XMLV a viable way to develop iPhone applications using Java?

Here are a few Java code examples used to build and application in an iPhone:

Despite its popularity and flexibility, Java is not a popular choice when it comes to iOS app development. However, if you already have an Android mobile application developed in Java, you should consider using the same programming language to create the iOS version.

I think we will have to wait a couple of years more to see more progress. However, there are now more frameworks and tools available:

Here a list of 5 options:

  • Codename One
  • RoboVM <-- Closed
  • Avian no maintainer
  • XMLVM
  • J2ObjC
  • Multi-OS Engine not maintained
