“…In 2022 and 2021, El‐kaliouby et al 7,8 , proposed a new solution for converting the user interface code of native mobile apps using the trans‐compilation method. Their approach can convert an iOS user interface to an Android interface with an accuracy rate of 88.9% as tested through the BLEU evaluation tool on five sample applications.…”

“…The solution that is still under research is the trans‐compiler‐based mobile solution, whereby experiments carried out by References 6–14 usually involve converting an application written from one native language to another native language using the trans‐compilation approach. In References 11 and 12, the authors develop a tool called the Trans‐compiler Android to iOS converter (TCAIOSC) that converts applications written in Android to iOS.…”

ContextThe most popular mobile platforms, Android and iOS, are traditionally developed using native programming languages—Java and Kotlin for Android, and Objective‐C followed by Swift for iOS, respectively. Due to their popularity, there is always a demand to convert applications written for one of these two platforms to another. Cross‐platform mobile development is widely used as a solution where an application is written once and deployed on multiple platforms written in several other programming languages. One common cross‐platform approach that has been used recently by some research groups is the Trans‐Compilation approach. They focus on translating a program written in iOS into Android or vice versa. The main problem with their solutions is that library function mapping is not generalized and usually functions constitute most of the parts of any program.ObjectiveThis study aims to introduce an automatic library mapping approach for mobile programming languages.MethodA library function of a source language will be automatically mapped to a corresponding function of the destination language by using the function structure for the two languages. The function structure includes the library to which the function belongs, the return type, parameter types, and the number of parameters. To test our approach, we map from Swift to Java.ResultsThe results of our experiments show that our automatic library mapping approach achieves an average accuracy of 83.6% when tested on the most used libraries and outperforms current state‐of‐the‐art mapping techniques in terms of mapping accuracy.ConclusionThese findings show that our automatic mapping approach is promising and can help to overcome the limitations of the trans‐compilation approaches.

“…Those dealing with the UX aspect and the issue of application functionality are part of this type of work. We can mention El-Kaliouby et al [35], who dealt with the conversion of code in terms of UI, and technology migration for the example of a specific portal [36] or a specific application [37], and further analysis in terms of the user interface [38].…”

In the age of smartphones and tablets, the popularity of mobile applications is rising extremely quickly. There are countless purposes for using them, such as communication, social media, news, sending emails, shopping, paying, watching videos and streams, and playing games. Google’s Android is currently the most frequently used mobile system in the world. The main aim of this article is to compare native and hybrid mobile applications created for this system, taking into account the needs and challenges of designing systems using BLE and Wi-Fi. The comparison was based on mobile applications implemented in the Java 8 language and the Ionic framework. The aim was to compare the efficiency of data processing in both technologies, in order to indicate dependencies that can help in the selection of technologies in the projects under development based on BLE, Wi-Fi and sensor networks.
