Would be interesting to compare performance/memory footprint of native Android app, and that same app after going through Java -> j2objc -> apportable -> Android...

The roundtrip version might be faster in some cases because it's not Java anymore, but native code. AFAIK, Apportable uses GNUStep libraries and the Android NDK, so the translated version would be an ARM binary on Android. Of course you can't do that for a real app because they use the Android APIs, not just the foundation libraries supported by j2objc.

  Actually, Apportable's Foundation is now built on Apple's open sourced CFLite. It is available at https://github.com/apportable/Foundation https://github.com/apportable/Foundation. And it is used for a lot of real apps including those at http://www.apportable.com/customers http://www.apportable.com/customers
