You can't convert a server-side application into a mobile app. The mobile part could only be the frontend part so to speak. If you want to start with as least work as possible I would suggest to use Ionic Creator (https://creator.ionic.io). But you always need a backend (Laravel) component for mobile application if you want to share data, store data in a database etc. It's possible to do this without a server for example using AWS Lambda functions etc. but I think that's a bit too much depth here.
@jlrdw thank you for the post, the site is responsive and looks great on mobile. Im just trying to break into those people who only want to use this if its an iphone app.
@bart thanks for the insight checking out the tool now.
So can I still use my same mysql database but I just have to use swift of some other iphone compatible language to tie into it?
yes, if you have knowledge of swift or objective c then you can create IOS app. if your application is fully responsive you can just use webview for your ios app
if you've setup your APIs then It's good to have vue native app using quasar-framework.org which is built on top of Cordova to have cross platform mobile app
The choice of a programming language for your application is one of the most complicated and important decisions, which are taken by the programmer. Because of it, in that article https://artjoker.net/blog/objective-c-or-swift/ you will be able to see all of the benefits and drawbacks of one of the most popular languages called Swift as well as the comparison of it with much older
Web API & Angular Front-end( or any front-end framework)
Now use the same API for your IOS or Android app( learn these languages or hire mobile app developer)
Alternatively, there is platform called PhoneGap which will need a single app and you can use it on both IOS and Android.
