Question: I have developed [this android application](https://market.android.com/details?id=net.mindfsck.PosAff)  and I am looking to port it to iOS.

My questions are:

1) I am planning to finance the iOS development with the money earn't from the android sales which is about $200 at the moment. Would it be reasonable to get the project done for this amount even if it is outsourced to elance or odesk etc? 

2) I have heard the code quality for outsourced iOS projects to be bad, I dont want any memory leaks and crashes because of overflows etc. 

3) I currently dont have a full time job so I can technically do the project myself, however I dont have a apple pc or iPhone (dont really want to get them either). 

I know C pretty well but I haven't really released a major C project that must be 100% stable. How many hours to learn iOs and do the port? And would it be worth my time taking into consideration that if I do enjoy it I may get into it fulltime.

4) What would the demand be like for someone that can do Android and iOS?

Thanks

Answer: 
$200 would pay for maybe half a day's work from a decent iOS developer. I'd recommend investing in a Mac (you can do development without an iPhone, at least to begin with) and learn how to do the port yourself. The employment opportunities for someone who can do both platforms are enormous.

(also, iPhone owners tend to be much more willing to spend money on apps, so the additional sales alone may make doing the port yourself a worthwhile investment)
Reports are that many cross-platform developers make between 2X to 10X more money in the iOS App store than for their paid Android apps, so you might want to consider investing more. Total iOS app development costs have been reported in the range of $25k to $250k for quality apps from experienced developers, so $200 may not even get you started.

Strictly ported apps are likely to not look or act right to the majority of your customer base, so you may want to consider a redesign rather than a port if you want to maximize revenue.

There does exist a demand for developers who have experience with both iOS and Android development. Check you local job listings for some stats.
