How to use AppMigrationKit to transfer data from an iPhone to an Android device

I am an individual developer, and I want to create a demo. Do I need to develop an app for both iOS and Android to accomplish this? Has Apple provided a simple demo or not?

I expect so.

I can’t really offer definitive advice for the Android side of things, but on iOS the API expects you to write code that selects what data to serialise (or, when importing, deserialise). The framework takes care of the serialisation details, but it’s your code that decides what does or doesn’t get serialised. That code exists in your AppMigrationKit app extension, and an app extension can only exist within an app.

Has Apple provided a simple demo …?

There’s no Apple sample code for AppMigrationKit.
