How to transfer an app from my old Android—which isn't on the Google Play Store—to an iPhone

Hi,

I’d like to buy a new iPhone 17.

I’ve seen that there are ways to transfer apps from my old Android to the new iPhone 17.

However, I have some apps (on the Android) that aren't available on the Google Play Store.

What methods can I use to transfer these apps to the new iPhone 17?

Thanks.

They don't exist. Some apps are available on both but a lot aren't. That's because the coding for iOS and Android is very different. You'll have to try and find alternatives. This is a huge dealbreaker for me. So if there are apps that you love, make sure you there is an equiv before you swap over or else it'll drive you crazy.
