iOS Question Need to quote on porting a B4A app to B4i

[biometrics]

Hi everyone,

I need to quote a client to port a B4A app to B4i. As I haven't done this yet I am unsure what to quote.

Can you please give me an idea how much of your B4A app was portable to B4i and how much you had to rewrite?

It's not a very complex app. Uses the camera, local file system for photo storage, comms via http, ability to detect if wifi is available and so on.

Thanks

Generally %90 of the code is same. But both system have differences so you have to change some code of course. A little example : b4a: label1.enabled=true b4i: label1.userinteractionenabled=true

So you can easily port them. Dont Worry

label1.enabled=true b4i: label1.userinteractionenabled=true

Note that there is an Enabled property in B4i. It is not available for labels (which usually are not enabled or disabled).

Ok, so quoting 50% of the time it took to write the B4A app should be safe.

And how is that with libraries? Can you use the Android synonymous?

 

[Erel]

Not sure that I understand. What do you mean with Android synonymous?

Android Libriarys, for example the Asynch Lib using by ios?

Do you mean AsyncStreams? It is available in B4i: https://www.b4x.com/b4i/documentation.html
