Java on iOS - now possible?

[BobsYourUncle]

Hi All,

With the technologies mentioned here
http://www.javaworld.com/javaworld/jw-03-2013/130327-open-source-java-iphone-tools-compared.html

Shouldn't it now be possible to take java code from B4A and run it on iOS, Blackberry, etc?

Just a thought while I'm eating my breakfast!

Erel - I know this is not easy but I would pay good money for a product that allows me to easily write iOS apps. I'm not alone here. I'm sure hundreds of other B4A customers would do also. I'd pay $500+ without even thinking about it.

Love to hear what other people think about this.

I'm familiar with most of the solutions described in the article. The "native" solutions are far from being production ready or they use their own "virtual machine".

If Java will have proper support for iOS then B4J will be able to use this feature and create iOS apps.

FYI, libGDX uses RoboVM to translate its Java code and run on Apple devices.

RoboVM looks awesome and very promising.

Looking at RoboVM , you still need Mac OS X which is unfortunate.
