Should I port my Android app to the iPhone?

Question

I have developed an app for the Android and it's working well, finally, and thanks to all the help from StackOverflow!!

Now I am being asked to make it work on the iPhone. I looked at iPhone a while ago but not recently.

What does everyone think? Should I take the time to learn Objective C and iPhone and port the app or forget it?

Are there any books that cross-reference functions so that you can look up how to do something in iPhone that you already have on Android?

Answer 1

From my experience in school, if you have already been able to create a working smartphone app in at least one mobile OS such as android, it wont take long before you can understand objective C and cocoa framework stuff. The only problem with that is you may probably need an apple developer license to use XCode.

So, I would say go for it since you also get paid, and also here is a link to iphone development guide for android developers : http://integratingstuff.com/2011/02/27/starting-iphone-development-as-an-android-developer/

Probably, it's better to get a partner who develop to iOS than doing it yourself.

Focus on a platform and let your products run to all users.
