Re: [xmlvm-users] XMLVM Production Ready?

[Gergely K. <ger...@ma...>]

Hi,

another alternative is the Intel Multi-OS Engine:
https://software.intel.com/en-us/multi-os-engine
It is based on the ART runtime from Android, and has a much better price
(free) compared to RoboVM.

Disclaimer: Intel acquired our product Migeran for iOS (
http://www.migeran.com/migeran-for-ios/) and it is now part of the Intel
Multi-OS Engine.

If you have an Android app, and you want to port it to iOS, you can also
use our Migeran Analyzer (free service) to check how much work it would
take to port it to iOS with the Multi-OS Engine. Check it out here:

Best Regards,
Gergely
