Setting up a server for iOS/Android

I am creating an app in Android which will also be made in iOS after it's ready.

I have successfully implemented a Tomcat serverlet in Eclipse between the device and the server.

Now both these platforms use Java. This isn't the case with iOS, which I am aware that you can't program with Java, but what about the serverlet? Can I even use Tomcat?

Some guidance will be much appreciated!

Yes, you can use ApacheTomcat.

Tomcat is only the part of technology to host your Servlet.

This has nothing to do with the mobile apps that you are planning to build, since these are completely different components.

As I see it, your whole project will require to be implemented with three different technical components:

  1. Your backend: This is your Java Servlet. It needs to run in a Servlet Container, which is indeed your Apache Tomcat setup
  2. An Android app: Written in Java, talking to your backend via HTTP
  3. An iOS app: Written in Swift/Objective-C, talking to your backend via HTTP
