iOS apps on Android

yusuo · May 20, 2014

So the impossible is now possible, scientists at Colombia University have managed to get iOS apps running in an android environment, making it possible to run iOS apps on android devices.

Cider lets Android gadget owners mix and match the Android and iOS apps they load on their phone or tablet.

However specific apps that rely on iOS specific hardware such as camera apps have trouble running properly, but it does appear the scientists are working on it.

In addition, some Apple apps that call on a phone's camera, GPS system or Bluetooth perform poorly and the researchers are continuing their work on Cider to fix these problems.
