https://robovm.com supports Java, Scala, Kotlin and Clojure on iOS, with apps on the app store. PaparVM has J2ME class library support only, so it's going to be tough to get anything big running. RoboVM is based on Android's runtime class library.

That's not true. ParparVM supports a subset of Java 8 not J2ME class libraries.

True that RoboVM does carry over a lot of Android's bloat and quite a few cross platform bugs and broken implementations. E.g. SQLite thread safety, broken java.net stack etc.

Oh and its also closed source now ;-)
