I have a native objective c ios application that I would like to convert to run on my Mac. How could I begin such a journey? Is there a way to run a native objective c ios app on a mac without ios simulator? Or some sort of in place framework I can use?
Although your logic code will be fairly portable, there is no quick way to port an app from iOS to OS X. The only way to do this is to create a new app from the Xcode template and move your code accordingly.
Remember, the View paradigm in OS X is completely different than iOS (i.e. UITableView vs. NSTableView). How will you handle user input? Is a series of tableviews the best way or would an NSBrowser work better?
There are many things to consider and at the end of the day you’ll need to account for that when creating your new app.
