You can use this tool to convert B4A layouts to B4i: [Tool] Bal2Bil - B4A Layouts Converter

I know this tool, I just think reuse the SAME layout file to both platforms.

B4A and B4i both create 100% native interfaces. iOS and Android views are very different. It is not possible to make a cross platform compatible layout unless you either create a non-native interface or you limit the layout to the common elements.

I don't believe that limiting developers is a good option.

Yes, but in most of times, the simple layout with components stardard for both plataforms is enough.
