Limited Android engineering capacity within the organization
Businesses that built iOS-first typically do not have Android specialists on the core team. Recruiting takes time, and engaging an external team introduces onboarding overhead and a knowledge gap that compounds the delivery risk.
Signing the contract
The engagement begins with the execution of the contract and NDA. Codebase access is granted only when both are in place. We take intellectual property into account from the start.
Codebase access
Following contract execution, access to the iOS codebase is shared with the Geniusee team on agreed terms. This initiates the migration process.
Agent migration
The porting agent runs the initial migration across all application layers. Architecture, UI, and platform-specific features are processed systematically. Platform-exclusive iOS features are identified and flagged for review, with Android equivalents proposed where available.
First demo
We deliver Android applications within 5 working days of codebase access. This is a functional application, not a prototype. It provides the basis for a structured review against the iOS reference product.
Testing and polishing
Following the demo review, our mobile engineering team addresses the remaining 20% by refining the agent’s output, resolving flagged items, and bringing the application to production quality.
Final handoff
The completed Android application is handed over with full source code and any supporting materials agreed as part of the engagement scope.
AI-assisted porting vs. traditional migration approaches
| Criteria | AI porting agent | Manual | Rebuild from scratch |

Levels Health: a mobile app for tracking metabolic health
The global rise in chronic diseases like diabetes has fueled the demand for personalized health management tools. Levels Health, an A16z-backed startup, identified a gap in the market for a user-centric app that leverages CGM data to empower individuals to optimize their metabolic health. Levels partnered with Geniusee to create a mobile app that would be their core user engagement platform.

What does “80% automated” mean?
The agent handles architecture mapping, UI translation, API substitution, business logic porting, and test case generation. What the 20% covers: platform-exclusive features with no Android equivalent (these are flagged and alternatives proposed), custom UI components that require native development, hardware integrations that require device-level testing, and any edge cases the agent identifies as requiring engineering judgment. We’re explicit about the split because it sets honest expectations about what you’re getting.
How long does the full process take?
5 working days for the first Android demo. Two to three weeks for a polished, production-ready app. The total timeline depends on app complexity, number of screens, third-party integrations, and how much platform-exclusive iOS functionality needs Android-specific alternatives. We scope the full timeline after the initial codebase analysis.
My app has Apple Pay and HealthKit. Can you still port it?
Yes, but these are exactly the platform-exclusive features the agent flags explicitly rather than translates mindlessly. Apple Pay → Google Pay is a well-defined migration path. HealthKit → Health Connect is a more involved architectural decision. We surface these during codebase analysis, propose the appropriate Android implementations, and handle the migration with engineer oversight. You don’t lose functionality. It gets rebuilt correctly for Android.
Does my source code leave our environment?
No. The agent runs locally in your environment or within Geniusee’s secure infrastructure — your choice. NDA is signed before codebase access. No third-party AI services process your source code. If your legal or security team has specific requirements, we work with them directly before the engagement starts.
What do I receive at the end?
Complete Android project with full source code. Architecture documentation explaining how iOS patterns were mapped to Android equivalents. Generated test cases for migrated components. Play Store publishing support. Optionally, post-launch monitoring and a maintenance contract. You own everything. We don’t hold the codebase or the documentation.
What if my iOS app is a mess?
We’ve ported apps with legacy Objective-C mixed into Swift, multi-module architectures that weren’t documented, and third-party SDK stacks with poor iOS documentation. The agent handles structural analysis before migration, which means we know what we’re walking into before the engagement is fully scoped. If the codebase is unusually complex, we surface it during the assessment stage, not halfway through the engagement.
Is this only for iOS to Android? What about the other direction?
The current agent is purpose-built for iOS-to-Android migration. Android-to-iOS porting follows a different set of platform translation rules and is handled as a separate, engineer-led engagement. If that’s your direction, reach out, and we’ll scope it accordingly.
How is this different from using a code transpiler or AI coding assistant?
Generic code transpilers and AI coding assistants operate at the syntax level. They translate Swift to Kotlin without understanding what the app does or how iOS architecture concepts map to Android patterns. The result is technically compilable code with broken semantics: incorrect lifecycle management, incorrect threading models, and iOS-style navigation within Android components. Our agent operates at the architecture level. It understands what iOS patterns mean and produces Android equivalents that work correctly — not just code that runs.
