[ale] [OT] Android /Apple App developers?

[Michael Potter]

If it is a currently working web app then this is a good bet:

https://ionicframework.com/

There are a lot of options but that one is the easiest for a web developer
to get running.

They have options for cloud builds so you would not need an apple computer
to build iOS.

Having said that, Ionic has a lot of options to sift thru so it may be a
bit confusing to pick the right set for you.  You might be better off
starting with phonegap which is also known as cordova.

https://cordova.apache.org/

phonegap and ionic work very similar so you can easily switch between
them.  Ionic is just a new code base so there is less historical baggage.

In a nutshell: your web pages are static html/js files inside of the app
and they use webview to display it on the screen to the user.
