Apportable raises $5M for native cross-platform iOS and Android games

Apportable has raised $5 million in a new round of funding to finance a game development tool that enables developers to take Apple iOS games and get them to run Android mobile devices in a native format. That means those games can run in a speedy fashion with no compromises.

The company was able to raise the money because of the strategic significance of what it does. Not only does it help game developers lower their costs by enabling them to build once and publish on both major mobile game platforms, it also help Google’s Android to more easily catch up with iOS when it comes to getting equal time from game developers.
