My company has a mobileconfig that they have built that allows users to log into our VPN from the iPhone. Unfortunately my company only has this setup for the iPhone and not for Android. Is there an app or something that I can do to convert the mobileconfig to Android?
how is this not fixed
Bump...
2014 and this still isn't fixed
There is nothing to fix. It is something built for Apple by someone else. You will have to get them to build it for your OS of choice but don't expect Android to be high on the list.

According to a comment on MakeUseOf.com:
In general iPhone Apps will not work on anything but iOS.
If you developed the App yourself [and have the Source Code] it depends on the tools you have used.
If you used Xcode all the way the App would be in Objective-C [which is hardly supported outside the Apple world] with Cocoa APIs [which are Apple only].
This means you would have to re-write the entire App.
If you used some other base (Java, C++) and some porting platform there might be a chance that there are tools to port it to other mobile platforms as well.
i think the answer the OP is looking for is a yes or no
as far as im aware its not available on android yet. Cant recommend an alternative as i dont really know what instagram does.
I don't know if anyone has figured out the network paths that iMessage uses, but would it be at all possible for someone to build an app that would link in with iMessage, but work on Android? Or is that impossible, kind of like FaceTime?
I don't this such a app exists (yet?).
An alternative to android to android users would be "Whatsapp Messenger"
I have a feeling Apple has some authorization thing built into iMessage. I'm sure if someone can maybe clone it somehow since the OS X iMessage beta is now out.
There can be a chance.
I was actually thinking about doing something like that but sadly I have some experience with app development.
Hello,
First of all I would like to say that I'm completely new to android (except for the occasional dabblin on a friends phone) so please go easy on me. I am tech savy, but just never had anything to do with this platform, due to my not so nice opinion of google...
I am on blackberry passport and am/was a loyal bb customer with all that follows. But please I do not wish to start android vs bb vs ios etc thread. It is a matter of taste in the end.
So long story short, never had anything to do with IOS or android as I prefered BB for security, productivity and slimeline OS. However due to recent BB swithc to android and priv (which id god awful imho) and apparent abandonment of OS10 i am faced with increasing frustraton over current passport usage as it is more and more laggy problematic every day. So seeming that bb has abandoned os10 I have finnaly decided that perhaps it is a time for a different platform.
I am considering getting the oneplus 3.
So my questions are:
- What kernel and ROM to flash? I explicitly do not want anything to do with google or google services, i do not have gmail and have no intentions to open one. I do not use any service connected to google, no cloud sync, no FB, no instagram etc.... I want my phone google free, bloatware, spyware, ads free, cloud sync free etc. so basically I want as much control over what is installed as possible, with preferably NO personal info shared to any service.
- What is the most open source build? (coming from a viewpoint that google is evil, apple too.. I am putting my trust in the open source community) - replicant project peaked my interest, but the supported phones are too old and too few. I would be extremely pleased tho, if sth like this existed for newer phones.
- Encryption is a must, both of memory and communication (pgp)
- advanced app permission control is a must
- if there exist sth like BB hub or other similar true multitasking option even better
to put it simply, what custom rom and kernel to flash to get the most secure, opensource, google and similar companies free phone with maximum control over os and no to minimum personal info shared.
I would very much appreciate if you could point me in the right direction. As i said no experiance with android, but am quick learner and tech savy. so no need to dumb it down for me.
Thank you !!
OK here's a question for all you android-heads: How to get rid of it ???
Android was originally developed as open source but then Google 'bought it' and converted it to a proprietory system which requires a Google 'account' which colates and tracks personal info across devices and systems. Huawei may finally give us a way out of the Yank back-end snooping problem but that can only be defeated by getting rid of the American OS (Android and IOS) which steal and pass all data directly to American authorities and companies. What happened to privacy ???
Sailfish, Ubuntu touch and Tizen may be useful but it would be infinitely better if we could install our own Linux versions and take back control.
The 'newspeak' labelled "Smartphones' remind me of the old 8088 computers from the 1980's that could hardly be used as they were so basic. "Smartphones' are so very very basic that you cannot even access the root to install your own OS and software. Surely someone can link the ideals of the Rapberry Pi to the advanced hardware of the "Smartphone" to get a device that can actually be used normaly ! THAT will be the day! Oh and by the way - in Australia there existed "Communicators" - just like a "Smartphone", but without Sim cards, using only wi-fi and telephony with mVoIP (but that didn't give billions of $' to the phone companies...) We seem to be going backwards technologically Over and out....
Update 22.12.2019:
A new (really) open source Linux phone has just been announced - the Pine-Phone which can run any Linux system. Details at fossmint pinephone-an-open-source-smartphone-for-linux
Install Armbian if it's kernel supported hardware that you can build a map for. Otherwise there isn't really an option, irritating as that is.
The weMessage application allows you to use iMessage on Android through a proxy server running on a Mac.
Is there a program with the same concept but for Facetime?
If there isn't, is it possible? I might consider trying to make it, though I don't want to if something already exists.
I love my android, and couldn't bare using an IOS device. Though I need to use Facetime.
No, I am not looking for Facetime alternatives.
