Apportable looks like a fantastic product. Does anyone know if such a thing exists going in the other direction (Android to iOS)?
Anything to help with making it easier for developers to make reliable cross-platform apps is very valuable to the industry.
- BHSPitMonkey 13y agoThat seems like the direction that would be less vulnerable to copyright/patent claims. I could easily see Apple raising hell over the compatibility layer Apportable ships with their "ports". Android, itself being an open-source project, would be immune to that.
- jtheory 13y agoSure, but Apple, being sometimes a little overeager to keep the apps they accept "of the right sort" -- ideally fully native, really -- could see an compatibility layer and decide to simply refuse to approve any apps using the bundled Android layer.
- BHSPitMonkey 13y agoThey would have in the past. These days they do allow a variety of mechanisms that let not-exactly-native apps run in iOS.
