I want to build an app for the default iMessage app on iPhone, I am curious to know if I could be built out with flutter? An iMessage Sticker app for example. Or is this only available through swift and Xcode?
Edit:
I am looking for an app to be built within the iMessage app of Apple’s iMessage app. Not an 3rd party messenger app. There are apps such as a sticker app that you can download from the App Store that then gets installed into Apple’s iMessage app. I just want to know if one can build this from Flutter, or can this build only be built from Xcode?
I feel like your question is maybe not clear enough, but you can do a messaging app that works on ios.

The apps provide the same functionality, but have different code bases.
Is this possible?
I'm not entirely sure what you mean by "bundle" in this instance. PhoneGap provides the ability to deploy your app to numerous platforms (iOS, Android, Windows Phone) by writing in just HTML5, CSS, and Javascript. Your question states that you have a functioning HTML5 version of the app written for the PhoneGap platform. If this is the case, what is the need for the Objective-C iPhone app? Simply maintaining the HTML5 app should be sufficient to deploy to both iPad and iPhone. PhoneGap currently supports iOS, iPad, and retina displays.
From the PhoneGap documentation, you can specify differences in your interface using config.xml.
You can mix phonegap and native code fairly easily - just have the startup code check the platform type and display either the native view or the phonegap webview.
However, whatever you do at this point will result in some inconvenience to users - the only way to share in app purchases across devices is to have a single universal app. If you want to keep existing purchases, you have to add an ipad view to the existing iphone app, but that will not show up as an update for anyone who has the existing iPad app.
There are other possibilities such as setting up a server to track purchases in both apps, but that gets a lot more complicated than standard in app purchase and only works if your app includes a login system.
I've created an android app that uses WebView, through Eclipse, to display a website and navigate through it. However, now I've been assigned with creating the same app for the iPhone/iPad.
Is there any way to implement something as simple as a WebView for the iPhone while programming it through Flash Builder? (First time developing for Apple products...)
Any help will be much appreciated!
Thanks
With Adobe Air 3 you can publish apps for iOS. Making a UIWebView in objective-c (cocoa) and then load an external flash app (or site) won't work, since iOS devices don't allow flash embedded objects
Create app with NewDigitalTimes Free Apps Creator based on Adobe Air technology. This immediately gives all the functionality for push-notifications, analytics and advertising. Else you can use animation in app. Customize the showing Web site in the native iOS application with specifying the link.
Is there any way to convert ios native app to convert to web app because the client have a master piece application which can only see html5 app pdf files or any web app.
So is there anyway to convert the ios native app to web app
I dont think this is possible. You will have to recode it as a web app. There is no objective-C -> html5 converter.
I have to create an app in which I will provide the text or pdf file to the app and app will read it like a narrator. Is there any API available for that or iOS sdk itself provides this feature.
Here is the link to one such app present on App Store

I am new to IOS development (currently, I'm developing websites in ASP.NET) and I found out that one can create an IOS app using just html 5 and javascript.
Well that is great news for me since I don't have the time to learn Obj-C and xCode way of writing apps.
I have heard some opposing statements, though, on whether I will be able to submit my app into the app store.
Will I be able to submit such app in the app store?
If not, is there a way to 'wrap it up' somehow, so it could be submitted?
Thanks!
No, only native app will be listed in the App store. To submit apps to the appstore you will always need a paid Apple Developers account.
Native in this case meaning real apps that can be installed.
You can build an app in HTML and Javascript in tools like Phonegap and Titanium. These tools will create a native app which loads the local HTML and try to make it feel like a native app.
You will need to use a wrapper, like AppMobi (where I work). This lets you write your app in html, javascript and CSS only.
You need to wrap your application in a UIWebView container. As far as I know, there's no way to package an HTML5 only app for the App Store. I have four apps in there that are HTML5/Javascript apps, wrapped in a UIWebView. There are also third-party frameworks available for this.
