Run iOS apps on Android
Cider is a new program that enables users to run iOS apps on any android device and have access to -all their apple content.
A day where Android users can have full access to Apple’s App Store may be with us sooner rather than later. Six students at Columbia University have developed Cider, a piece of software that enables users to access a wide library of iOS apps across their Android devices. As well as bridging the gap between both operating systems, Cider has also been created for users to have a single device for their app content, instead of needing multiple devices. The project isn’t currently without its limitations however, with members of the research team pointing out that Apple apps tend to run slightly slower on Android devices and there are performance issues with Bluetooth and GPS systems not working properly. The research team has said that Cider is currently just a prototype, and as of yet, there are no plans to turn it into a widely available product that everyday users will have access to whenever they might need it.
