I have built a very simple android app (i.e., an app that essentially just shows pictures along with some quizes). I am curious what the cheapest way of duplicating my app on iPhone, assuming I can't do it myself?
In that case, you should develop this app in titanium framework that framework basically supports javascript type structure and provides platform to develop app in both platform ios as well as android.
You might want to take a look at the j2ObjC project from Google
It will convert existing Java code to objective-c.
I haven't tested it and don't know how well it does perform, but if the app is simple, it should do well
If your application feature has not required native framework then you can create your application in multi platform framework.
Apache Cordova is one of the reliable mobile application framework which is run on iOS, Android and many other operation system.
Also you can find much details on this Link.
So you can make you application with using such framework and deploy on any operation system.

I'm going to design my first mobile app for both Android and iOS using Cordova.
Also, I've decided to heavily rely on Firebase as a database and analytics core.
As you may know, Firebase suggests you create the project in one of three platforms: Android, iOS and Web.. and so, I don't know which to choose as I want to create for both mobile platforms using actual Web technologies.
On the one hand, it has to be web-focused but at the same time, I don't want to miss any device-oriented features.
If I create two separate projects for two different platforms, does it mean that there're going to be two different databases/hostings/storages as well?
Same case as React Native apps and Flutter (I suppose) you will need to manage this separately for both of your applications,
Simply follow the steps mentioned on the tutorials from Google to enable and connect your app to firebase. Is very easy and I think you are on a good track.
Hope this helps
You need to create for Android AND iOS if you plan on using the Firebase plugin for cordova, as the plugin relies on the native layer and not the web layer in cordova.
You will only need google-services.json for android and GoogleService-Info.plist for ios if you use the plugin. These config files will be available once you create the android and ios projects in firebase.

Im an android developer , now i want my apps to be in iphones too, so is there any way to convert apk to ios or to write apps in android and ios with the same code ?
to write apps in android and ios with the same code?
There are a lot of cross-platform frameworks such as
React native(javascript language).
Xamarin Forms(C# language)
Flutter(dart language developed by Google)
to develops an application which could run in both android and iOS platform. All the above framework will have at least more than 70 percent common codebase and the rest of the pieces of code will be written in android and iOS for platform-specific functionality. React Native and Flutter are the trending frameworks
is there any way to convert apk to ios?
I believe it is not possible. Even if you manage to convert, apple has strict rules in installing third-party applications. Thereby you won't be able to install the app in iOS

What is the best solution to make a mobile app for both android and iOS?
-i need a light size app
-the app will contain payment plugins?
should i use the native android studio and Xcode to develop it? or there is a better platform or tool ?
The best answer I can think of is using React-Native.
It is lightweight and you use JS as the development language.
It uses Native ios and android components.
You will need an IDE for JS , Xcode and Android Studio.
I used React-Native to Develop a native App for iOS and Android. And was really pleased because you can learn React really fast and there are tons of libraries for the Framework.
One Benefits of react-native is that you can use an app for your Smartphone that allows you to scan a QR-Code which your react-native app creates so you can preview your app and see changes on your Smartphone in almost real time.
Another Framework that seems to be popular is the Ionic Framework that you might wanna look into.

I want to write a program can use in desktop, Android and IOS, I study Cordova and I think that we can use Cordova for this, can I use Cordova for this matter, if I use Cordova, In any operating System, can I use special API, for example I use Cordova in android for my program, Can I use Android API in my project, I use both of them (Cordova, Android API)?
Best Regards
If you are going to create the app for multiple platforms, then just use html5, don't use anything specific to android, i don't believe you can use anything specific to android, because it all gets put in a webView, Cordova should supply the necessary items, i.e filesystem, networking, etc..
Also you can build it up with Angular, or any other similar framework, and use Bootstrap, ionic, or similar UI libraries to normalise the look.

We are developing a mobile dating application which includes the following features:
Manage Photos:
Add/Delete
Able To Crop Photo
Reduce File Size
Auto Set Dimensions Of Photos Before Uploading To Server
Push notifications
If our target platforms are iOS and Android, could we achieve the above tasks using phonegap or similar cross-platform development apps?
If not, please suggest if there is an alternate way other than native development?
In theory, the tasks you described could be done using Phonegap with a help of an external JS library (example : pixastic) that can help you achieve some actions like cropping, resizing, etc.
But, the problem with Phonegap is that it is related to the browser's performance. As you know, the most used android versions are 2.3 and 2.2 . Their built-in browsers (used by Phonegap) can have some difficulties to load corretly some pages or render them as quick as expected.
But, if you are aiming ICS devices, you can go ahead. IMHO, I would develop this kind of apps with Phonegap if Chrome became the default Android's browser (may be in Android 5?). But, I would recommend native-developping your app.
