How do you design and build your website to make it usable on both IPhone and Android, does it have to be pure html?
Both run modified webkit (the base of chrome and safari) based browsers. They're capable of running full javascript. You'll want to avoid using any browser plugins (like flash) since they're not really supported on these platforms.
They other big concern is the layout. They don't have as much screen space as a typical computer screen and they don't have the same type of input devices. Avoid requiring users to type a lot if it's not required.
Some Andriod phones and the iPhone also support HTML 5 so you can use its capabilities.
Your website should be designed in a way that it properly runs on chrome and safari, as they both are used by many users. The website should be compatible with smartphones as it will help in SEO strategies.

I'm new to flutter and I'm planning to create a social media platform something like Twitter, Instagram, or TikTok. I plan to use flutter for its web and mobile. But from what I can see since Flutter web is still in its early stages is it really achievable/feasible/practical(I don't what term to use) for the platform to only use flutter? Or is it much better to separate the web and mobile like using react/angular for the web and flutter for mobile? Also, Can you also provide what are the pros and cons for both scenarios?
Although flutter web is in its early stages, this platform has had an unstable version for a relatively long period and now, it has stable web release. Definitely, it has some challenges and specially lack of documentations for web version (due to its novelty), but it has power to provide reliable results. So, I think, yes you can use Flutter for your client-side. However, there are some difficulties in this platform that you can handle with native code as well.

I have a question about how to shape PWA applications. I understand that Serviceworker help web apps to be like an application offering offline features and more.
So, can I create one for mobile and another one for the PC web browser to provide it with the same domain by recognizing types of hardware - how typical website works? Or, if I want to create PWA, then it must be dedicated to mobile service only?
You don't have to create separate web apps for mobile & desktop.
Just create a responsive web app and make it progressive by adding the manifest & service worker.
It isn't specific to mobile or desktop.
It's a website after all.
You open it in any supported browser, it will work.
You can either use it as a conventional website or a PWA (If the browser supports)

I want to build an iPhone application with very rich user interface. I learnt Obj-C. I wanted to know what all technologies/languages I need to know further for developing such kind of apps.
What are the recent technologies used to develop iphone apps?
Please let me know.
Thanks,
AE
I have done Google for you, really very tough task to do it
Start with
video tuorials from youtube of standford university:-
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Qn-JUtQrsM
Then you can start with
https://developer.apple.com/programs/ios/gettingstarted/
http://www.raywenderlich.com/tutorials
http://mobile.tutsplus.com/category/tutorials/iphone/
http://iphonelearning.wordpress.com/2011/08/05/beginning-iphone-development/
You can read apple docs,its very simple and good
How to develop iphone app
Tools
Xcode provides tools to manage your entire development workflow—from creating your app and designing your user interface, to testing, optimizing, and shipping your app to the App Store. You can customize Xcode to suit your style of working, keeping you focused on the task at hand.
Languages
Objective-C is an elegant object-oriented language that powers all iOS apps. You write Objective-C code to create your app, and you need to understand this language in order to use most application frameworks. Although you can use other languages for development, you can’t build an iOS app without Objective-C.(But we can use Apache cordova(phonegap) for developing non native app )

** Please don't migrate this to Apple - it won't be seen. Thanks.
I'm not sure of the legal implications of what I am trying to do, but here it goes.
There is a radio show that I love listening to. It comes on everyday and the podcasts are uploaded to a website so users can download and listen to them for free. The website isn't very navigable, however, and it's extremely hard to play the podcasts from my phone (and, therefore, my car).
I have a long commute and I would love it if I could either access these podcasts via some kind of iphone app or maybe even a mobile-friendly website. I am first trying to figure out which would be better (iphone app vs mobile friendly website) and how sketchy you think it would be for me to develop the app (or site) and then offer it to the radio show for them to upload their podcasts. Alternatively, if they didn't want it, I would just download the podcasts from the site and re-upload them to mine.
Please note I am not trying to make any money off this, I am only trying to make it easy for people like me (with long commutes) to enjoy this particular radio show without having to navigate the existing (dysfunctional) site- risking the lives of dogs, squirrels, and other drivers in the process.
If you create an iPhone app, you will have more control over the OS-specific things that you can do but it will be limited to only the Apple platform. If you create a mobile-friendly site, it will be accessible from any platform but it will be limited by what you can do with a browser. I would say the target audience is the issue. If your target is just you or you and your iPhone friends, do the app. However, if you want scale, do the web app since it will reach the Android and WinPhone7 markets as well.

I've looked hard and have been unable to find good websites that have aggregated custom controls that have been submitted by users to be shared with everyone. Does such a repository exist?
I would hope something like this existed considering that iPhone developers seem to be using similar custom controls. In particular, I'm trying to do folder-like tabs on the iPhone (similar to how it is done on websites).
Here's a fairly new site for custom iOS and Mac OS X controls, Cocoa Controls.

joe answered good.
Here are the sites from were you can find reusable components
1) http://cocoacontrols.com/
2) http://open.iphonedev.com/
3) http://cocoaobjects.com/
Here is the twitter account where you can find popular reusable components on github about iPhone or iPad
4) https://twitter.com/#!/github_objc
Are you looking for the graphic design elements like buttons and views? If so, check out the Teehan+Lax iPhone PSD file: http://www.teehanlax.com/blog/2009/06/18/iphone-gui-psd-30/
One source I just found is by Joe Hewitt who made the Facebook iPhone app. He has a bunch of custom stuff he's opened sourced.
