most guides on building applications for android are for android studio or outdated eclipse plug in so i was wondering is there a way to build a c++ android application without using android studio on Debian?
Eclipse is a good one to devolop android apps. If you don't like Eclipse than you can try Phonegap. You can follow the guide if you have trouble to install Phonegap in Linux.
You can also try QT.
There are also many websites where you can create apps like:
Thunkable
Appsgeyser
Appypie
Appypie, Appsgeyser, Thunkable etc.

Can you publish an app made with android studio to iOS platforms? Is there a compiler that lets you compile your Android Studio app to and iOS platform working app?
It is not practical to run Android apps on iOS or the other way round.
Each operating system of each platform has different native components. The native Android or iOS app development requires using different programming languages, design interface, navigation, integration process.
The Android system uses the instruction set of the Java virtual machine called ByteCode. iOS, on the other hand, implements the compiled code.
Running Android apps on iOS is not possible because of the following factors:
Different lifecycle of apps in the system.
Different lifecycle of app screens within the app itself.
Different approaches regarding data access.
It is misleading to be told to use some kind of service or program to transfer your app to another platform with just a few clicks. Online tools like an Android to iOS converter do not work.
The only exception is the case if your app has been developed cross-platform from the beginning. There are some web-based libraries and frameworks which can help you develop hybrid apps. You can also have a look at flutter & xamarin but the app must be all done in that framework.
As far as I know, there is no something that can do that. Android is very different from IOS. If you want, there are a lot of tools that you can develop with them apps for both Android and IOS, with one codebase.
Some of these tools:
React Native
Flutter
Xamarin
PhoneGap
Apache Cordova
But if you will use one of these tools, instead of Android Studio for Android and XCode - It will not have the same performance as if it was written with Android Studio and XCode.
The reason for that is because the platform-specific tool (Android Studio / XCode) can talk directly with the Operating System, while the cross-platform tool (React Native / Fultter etc.), cannot talk directly with the Operating System.
Hope I helped you!
You can do this with Flutter.

They are different from writing standard android apps, and use Dart rather than Kotlin/Java.
It does have a good tight integration with Android Studio however.
I developed an android application with cordova and I want to convert it to iOS as well. Before starting my project I heard that we are able to convert same project with multiple platforms using cordova. But now I don't know how to convert my project to IOS. Can any one suggest good tutorial OR examples to do it.
And also mention what are all prerequisites to convert my android application to IOS using phone gap.
Suggest me some tutorials with examples.
First, you'll need an actual Mac computer. I suggest a MacBook Air, as they are cheaper than an iPhone. Then purchase an Apple developer license (USD 100/year) if you plan to submit this app to the App Store. Finally, you can migrate your Cordova source code to Xcode to compile the iOS version as explained in this guide:
Build Cordova iOS app from Visual Studio for Windows
The artice explains how to create a new app in Xcode and then export your source code from the Windows PC to the Mac. You can safely ignore all references to Visual Studio if you aren't using it, because it's not needed: Just follow the steps from the For your iOS app section.
I am a fan of Python and I would like to develop android apps using Kivy, I could just use the default Pyhton IDLE but while I was searching in youtube for kivy tutorials I realise that one guy was using android studio not with Java but with Python (and kivy)!
Well after some research in the web nobody knows nothing about it and here I am asking this: 1)How can I write android apps using android studio with Python or simply How this guy did this?
For those who want to know, here is the kivy tutorial that runs Python inside android studio!: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VDRa5RZx-X0&list=PLZocUikpczs_E9lPp4uzA8c8203sW-4Ux
The person who made the tutorial is using PyCharm, not Android studio.
PyCharm is the python version of Intellij (both developed by JetBrains), on which Android Studio is largely based, hence they look so much alike.
You cannot do python for android in Android Studio.
Can we able to start an Android project in "Titanium Studio". I am using the free version of this software. If Titanium Studio is good for Android development what are the main points. How to run the application.
Yes, you can start an Android project in the free version of Titanium Studio. You can also start an iOS project.
When you develop in Titanium, your code is in JavaScript and you use special Titanium functions and objects to access the Android or iOS device. Some advantages are that if you know JavaScript you can code for Android and iOS without having to learn Java or objective-C and most of your code will be reusable if you want to later deploy your app on iOS. Some disadvantages are that there are bugs in Titanium that make some functions behave differently in Android and iOS. Also, if smart phones were to add a new device function you won't be able to access it until Titanium added that function. You give up some control for easier multiplatform deployment.
Titanium's Quick Start guide will show you what you need to do to setup your computer for Android and iOS development: http://docs.appcelerator.com/titanium/2.0/#!/guide/Quick_Start
Say I'm a windows dev, familiar with Visual Studio and with a need of developing an Andriod app. I looked at both the andriod and wp7 getting started guides, but found the windows phone version http://phonegap.com/start/#wp guide much simpler than the Android version (of course, as a windows dev I have already everything installed).
Then comes my question:
Could I develop my app using the Windows Phone environment, and then use the PhoneGap Build services to get the Android version build?
In case, what should I upload to the build service?
Sorry if I got this all wrong, and thanks for any help!

The whole idea of phonegap is to develop a multi platform app writing the code once.
So the answer is yes, you should be able to build the app for wp, and then re-use your code for all the other platforms, only if you onlyuse the phonegap API and do all your programming in JS, HTML and CSS.
About what you should upload, I haven't doned it myself, but I think that It would have to be all the JS, HTML and CSS from your app. In android all is located on a folder called "assets".
Good Luck!
