Is it possible for me to develop and iOS app on my phone? I wanna either code an app off my iPhone 5 or just make my website into an app. Is there somewhere I can go to do this or is it not possible?
You can only programming on Xcode. And if you want to make your website into an app, you can use WKWebView. You can build a wkwebview with a url, then your app would just like a browser. And you can what you want in the website.
It is not possible to make an app from your iPhone 5. You can only create iPhone apps with a native programming language using Xcode. But, you can convert your website to an app using an application like PhoneGap, or you could use a JavaScript library like Electron.js.
I'm making a universal Windows Runtime 8.1 version of our app, originally an iOS app. I'm trying to find out how to display a page modally in the app.
In iOS, I'd use presentViewController:animated:completion: and dismissViewControllerAnimated:completion:, but I can't find an equivalent in WinRT. I've seen the task mapping which only mentions navigation frames (they're the equivalent of using pushViewController:, which isn't what I want) and I've seen this question which talks about a ContentDialog class, but that's only available for phone apps, not universal ones.
How do I show a page modally in a universal app?
I am new to windows phone development and i will like to create a page with buttons similar to the windows phone main page.
Something like this http://cdn.marketplaceimages.windowsphone.com/v8/images/b60e325c-ac45-4d7d-bdf9-f83762c23c90?imageType=ws_screenshot_large&rotation=0
Can you please suggest how I can achieve this?
You can either use the Windows Phone Toolkit (free) or Telerik Rad Controls (not free)
Both of them have a "Hub Tile" Component that allows you to create "Live Tiles" like those inside your app.
I just started developing wp8 apps coming from android. What is the equivalent UI control for an app drawer (android) to be able to quickly change from page to page? I'm looking for the control used to change from page to page in OneNote
EDIT: I found out that Windows phone 8.1 offers flyouts which can be made to look like an app drawer.
The equivalent to the android app drawer is probably the windows phone appbar, but the appbar in windows phone is not used for navigation - only settings like actions.
In windows phone, navigation is done primarily through your own interface, with heavy use of the BACK button to go to previous pages. The main class you use in windows phone is the NavigationService
I don't believe the OneNote uses standard UI components, so you would probably have to create your own
There are plenty of solid resources online that should help. Start here:

I am making an html5 app for windows phone 8 and I have a link that is generated by JavaScript and passed into a frame. I would like to put an open in browser button on the application bar. With ios you can do this by adding the _system to the link is there an equivalent in WP? Is there any way to open the browser without using the launcher or is there a way to get the JavaScript variable into the launcher?
You can use Launchers to open and system application
Below is the sample code for the same:
WebBrowserTask webBrowserTask = new WebBrowserTask();
webBrowserTask.Uri = new Uri("http://msdn.microsoft.com", UriKind.Absolute);
webBrowserTask.Show();
