I am looking to make a mobile app for both android and iOS. What is the best way to develop and app for both platforms?

I have never created a mobile app before, but I pick things up pretty quickly.

I was just wondering do people code these things in both languages or is there a way to code it once and make it compatible with both platforms?

Any suggestions to coding my first app?

What kind of app. Unity can create games for both platforms.

I have 2 app idea. First is a utility app. Second app is for a game.

I am more focused on the utility app first because I think it will be easier and give me some experience before I jump into a game.

well their APIs etc are quite different, so if you're not using a program to build most of the app it'll be entirely different for both

I'd just dive right into android, as it's free and everything's open source

apple requires license, a mac.. and their w/e else nazi shit to build apps for their phones

there is a compiler vmxms or something like that that converts java bytecode into objective c so it can be run off both
i think it's pretty limited though

god I have a really good idea, but if I do it myself it will probably take years to develop since I have no experience with mobile apps.

everyone and their mother has a really good idea. i could probably think of two or three while i'm sitting on the toilet. if your goal is making money, then you better get started!

it depends what kind of app you wish to make.

office related,. gaming,. looking, map, etc etc.

just use xamarin lol Xd
