Is it possible to port iOS app to windows store metro app

I'd like to port a simple iOS app to a windows metro app.

It's basically a web app wrapped around a UINavigationController and UIWebView. (link click pushes new UIWebView into UINavigationController)

Is this doable? How difficult would it be to do so?

Will I have to make significant changes on the server-side? Has anyone done something similar to this?

If it's really a web view wrapped in a navigation controller, the port in itself should be fairly easy, you should be able to wrap things in a similar way in a windows store app (ie a WebView)

What may be the large part of the port unless you've been careful when creating the site is to see to that the app works well on all resolutions. iOS has a fairly small number of possible resolutions to support, while windows store apps support any resolution that Windows 8 supports (ie pretty much any current and/or future screen resolution) You'll more or less be required to use some kind of responsive design.
