I have an Xcode project (Objective-C). I'm thinking to use the Corona SDK for further development. Is it possible to attach the Corona project to an Xcode project just like it is with cocos2d?
Unfortunately no. Corona is a completely self-contained system and cannot be integrated with external code modules.

Is it possible to convert iphone application which is build using Xcode to Windows Phone 7 application which is build using C#.?
Or is there any tool to convert.?
Can we build an application in HTML5 and deploy it on windows Phone 7.?
Thanks in advance for your help.
Best Regards,
Krishna
As others have mentioned, there are cross platform development tools available, including tools from http://phonegap.com/, http://www.madewithmarmalade.com/ and http://www.xamarin.com. These are great solutions if you want to start on a greenfield project, or if you are embarking on a major new version across all platforms.
If you want/need to port an existing Objective-C app, however, then I don't believe there are any tools available for you. One thing that may helps is that Microsoft have produced some useful "how do I port" guides for iOS, for Android and for Qt - see:

It is not Possible to Convert the iphone sdk application which is written in objective c to C#.
But using Monotouch http://xamarin.com/monotouch ,you can write code in C# which will be compatible for iPhone and can use it for other platForms also.
use PhoneGap library to build your App/Product
ship it with multiple environment
it is javascript library
PhoneGap
Is there a way to use the iSpeech SDK for iPhone in my monotouch project? http://www.ispeech.org/developers/iphone
This looks like an ObjectiveC library. The way to use this inside a MonoTouch project is to create .NET bindings for the library.
There's one reference of this already? existing in their forums but I could not google it. You might want to ask them (iSpeech) if they are aware of it before starting your own bindings.
I'm trying out PhoneGap, so I followed the instructions to create an Android Project in Eclipse.
But now I'm wondering how I can use this same code for building an iPhone app.
Is there something like a hybrid project in Eclipse!?
UPDATE:
I realize now that it's not possible to use PhoneGap on Windows to develop iPhone apps? That's too bad... is there any way to use PhoneGap on Windows to compile for iOS ??
In theory PhoneGap build should allow iPhone development on Windows.
However Nitobi was bought out by Adobe (PhoneGap:Build service may have changed), and you may still need iOS to upload your app (might be able to get around with a jailbroken iOS?!).
A dodgy solution could be to install OSX in a vbox virtual machine :)
No, there is no way to develop iPhone app on Windows using PhoneGap or Titanium.
Because they need iPhone SDK and Android SDK on back-end, which is not possible on windows environment. However you can make both apps on iOS simulations.
I have an android project that targets Android 2.2 (developing in Eclipse). Exporting the android project to the Droid Incredible works perfectly. Is it possible to export the project to a file suitable for installing on an iphone? I know that most iPhone apps are developed using xCode, but I'm not sure if xCode packages into a .apk or other file format that's equivalent.
Thanks in advance.
Only if you write or port your own complete Dalvik VM (in Objective C or Javascript), plus developing the runtime support needed for any and all API calls that your app uses, and bundling all that with your app, as that would be the only way to run a regular Android project on an iPhone.
A non-trivial amount of work.
Completely rewriting the app in Objective C and Cocoa Touch would be magnitudes easier.
Not even remotely possible. Android and iOS are completely different environments. There are a few frameworks for developing applications that'll run on either, but the results often end up looking kind of weird on both platforms.
You cannot export an Android application and run it in an iPhone because the hardware/software stacks/APIs/etc. are different.
However, if you build an application using for instance PhoneGap (a HTML5 based application framework), it is possible to deploy it on different mobile platforms.
If you feel curious about multi-platform mobile frameworks (Android/iPhone) you may find this thread interesting.
Hi all is there way to build iPhone app on linux without using xcode.I want to make use of ant.
No, there is no way to build iPhone apps on anything other than Intel Mac's. Even third party app development kits like appcelerator require the iPhone SDK to be installed in the background
Another solution, but again is not possible to compile without a Mac, is Haxe: http://gamehaxe.com/2009/05/22/haxe-on-iphone-simulator/
You need to have a MAC to install iPhone SDK, even with tools such as MonoTouch (which lets you develop in C# instead of Objective C) you still need MAC for the SDK.
Right now the only way is using MonoTouch but is using C# and is not free software.
You can develop and write for the iPhone on linux, but there is no way to compile it to an iPhone app and/or check if your code is working properly.
You'll need a mac for that or MonoTouch as said above.
If you want to create games, you can use Unity 3D but that also is not free software.
