Does anybody knows a mobile app framework like Monkey, where you code on one language and it generates native code for ios, android, etc, using the native ui elements? And it's not like phonegap, or any other html5 based viewers.

http://xamarin.com/ - formerly MonoTouch.

From what I have heard so far this is one of the most "professional" options.

However you can still not do one App and reuse the GUI code since Apps does not work the same on Android and iOS - but I assume you knew that :)

How advanced / complete is the Xamarin Monkey Target, anyone used or is using it?

I didn't realise it was using native GUI elements, this is something I will have to take a look at.

Lobster (just mentioned in Digital Discussion) seems to be trying to go that way too.

I suppose if you generalise the concept of 'programming language' you also include things like Unity.

The xamarin monkey target is very useful for iOS but I haven't tried to add any Android stuff yet. The one on GitHub is very out of date now, as I've added lots of new stuff since then.

Thanks Beaker, are you planning on updating the GitHub to the most recent version soon, or should I just play with what is up there?
