Hi, I have built Android APP for my project. Now, I want to build the iOS version. I have absolutely no idea how to begin. Can someone guide please?
Support is appreciated from everyone, thanks.

Thanks, how difficult to build the same thing which was developed in Android to iOS?

I can understand that there may not be direct answer but just some experience.
When you have everything you need then it is easy.
You already know B4A then B4i is almost the same.
You may encounter different behavior of both platforms at some point but most of the time we already have solutions or alternatives.

Thanks a lot! Do iOS has executable file like Android has .apk which can run directly on phone?

It used to be exist something call .ipa file but Apple made it more difficult now so the answer is no.
You can't open the package directly.
However, the way you develop using B4A-Bridge is similar when using the B4i-Bridge.

No, when you haven't ready.

However, you can upload it as a "draft version" if you want to use TestFlight, where you want to share the beta version to another person.

As I mentioned earlier, you run the Debug app using B4i-bridge during development. Until you decided you want to compile it as release.

Even you don't upload, you still need an apple developer account.
