    Awesome! Though it seems kind of weird that Google would make a tool that makes iOS Apps.

    Maybe to get more apps in their Play Store? Let's say I want to develop an iOS app. I now have the option to also release it on Android without remaking it from scratch, only the UI. I would consider it for sure.

    Sorry. Apparently, the auto-correct feature in OS X isn't aware of Java. At least not on my computer.

    Thats cuz most people go to iOS first and forget android or do it later. iOS for most developers come first.

    Java to Obj-c guys. Means the app would most likely already be on the Play Store. ;)
