Asked By Juan M Flora 90 points N/A Posted on - 11/14/2014

Major mobile phone operating systems like Android and iOS are designed structurally different. This causes major issues to developers developing apps for mobile phones? Is it then possible for apps to run on all phones regardless of its Operating System? What is the best way for developers to develop app without requiring it to be tweaked to meet the needs of different Operating Systems?

Creating apps which can work with different mobile OS

There are articles already on the internet announcing team of engineers from Columbia University who were able to initially demo a prototype App that could run on both iOS and Android. Cider which was the former name and now called Cycada, that has the compatibility to run on both phone systems without third party program. Cycada was developed by using a new method that adapts the code using Android system to call same functions for iOS.  You may try visiting You Tube thru this link to watch them demonstrating the App –> Cycada
