Codename One apps perform like native apps, because they are real native apps.
They are statically compiled into native binaries using the target platform’s official build tools.
On platforms that do not support Java natively, such as iOS, the app’s JVM bytecode is first transpiled into a form that the native build tools will accept. On iOS, the app’s JVM bytecode is transformed into C source code, in a real Xcode project.
On Android, since Java is supported natively, no such transformation is necessary. The app’s source code is bundled directly into an Android studio gradle project, which can be built directly using the Android SDK build tools.
The figure below shows the build process for each supported platform.
