There is no way to transfer apps from the Google Play Store to Apple devices, just like you cannot download an app from the App Store and transfer them to an Android device.

A developer that offers an app on both platforms could certainly give you a Promo Code that you could enter into the App Store and it would allow you to download the app for free. They are not obligated to do that and I would only expect that from a developer that provided exceptional customer service. You won't know unless you contact them and ask.

You're buying a different piece of software. If I buy single sheets for my single bed, but then I buy a king-size bed, I have to buy new sheets. I don't get free sheets from a company because I bought some before and just need a different size.

Don't forget. When you buy from the Google Play Store, Google gets their cut. When you download from the Apple App Store, Apple get's theirs.

You can try reaching out to the developers and seeing if they'll give you some kind of discount code but I wouldn't hold my breath.

What a great comparison!

If the developers offer those games in Apple's App Store, you can download them there. If they are not free, you'll need to purchase them.
