Can iphone 5 install and run android apps?
Can iphone 5 install and run android apps?
Not at all
Unless the developer wrote the same app for both android and ios. But those would still technically be different apps
No because the applications have different file formats. The ones written for Android are ".apk" and they can't be executed by Apple.
Most of the time, the game developers create the same app for Android AND iPhone so everyone can use it.
If it can there will not b any diff between ios and android
No this is not possible, (unless the app is heavily modified) Apples' Iphone runs off of a completely different OS compared to Androids. For example Apple has ISO and Android has Gingerbread. A good analogy for this would be two different size screws, sure the look the same, feel the same, and perform the same action, but if the hole your trying to put the screw in is to small or to big its just not going to work
Hope This Helped:{D
I don't know about iPhone 5 but I do know actual android apps can now be run on iPhone using In-the-box VM. However, its not as straight forward.
In order to run Android apps on iPhone, you would need a good understanding of both operating systems and nuances required to port applications from Android to Apple's OS.
While the porting process may not be as smooth or as easy as one might hope it to be, the idea is indeed a good start. Anything that gives developers more time to code great apps instead of spending time writing the same one twice is a good thing.
In the box is a dalvik vm ported to iOS that can run any android app, for now just the basic apps. All you have to do is write your android code, convert it into dalvik executable (Dex) and then package and deploy to In-the-box on iPhone. Build the binary application, sign it and submit it to App Store.
- When Android user sends text to a mixed group of iPhone and Android users? A family member who is an Android user sent a text message to a large group of recipients, including me. The group has both Android users and iPhone users. I'm an iPhone user. Does this mean that I will receive everyone else s messages like an iMessage group, or will all messages go directly between the conversation starter and whoever is messaging him, without any of the other group members seeing what the other members said?
- ITunes on Apps tab Says Install on Some Apps? I have a couple apps on my iTunes that say Install instead of the usual Remove. I've noted that these apps are the apps that I've had and then deleted, but not all of my deleted apps are on there. How do I remove these apps from my iPhone's iTunes? On iTunes 11, right click --> delete does not show up. On iTunes 11, going to the library and manually deleting them doesn't work either.
- Is it possible to test/run android apps on an iphone? So, I've been told by my professor that he wants us to test our apps on our mobile devices. Thing is, I got an iphone.
