Directions for developing on IOS/iPAD

Which are the options for developing on iPad?

Story: An IOS application was being developed for the iPad but the developer left and there is a hard time finding another one. The application being developed is still at its beginnings. Adobe Flex has great tools for developing great UX so we thought whether this is the way to go and deploy the Flex application on iPad. We have some developers on Flex. Also there are other libraries to write cross platform code which compile to IOS (eg: http://xamarin.com/).

I would like some insights from experts which are experienced with IOS and iPad as developers or consultants and do know about Flex and other options.

We need to choose how to develop in the next years so this is an important decision.

Personally I would access your user base to determine if you want to go mobile or web.  You can create a pretty impressive html5 experience for iOS through the web.  With that being said, if you have the need for an actual app, I always go native.  I have seen one too many applications that compile into objective c and the output is absolutely horrible.  So if your going native, my professional opinion is to find an iOS developer but, if you can do web, then you have a great deal of web developers out there eager to help.

Thank you for your response - binaryevo.
Regarding HTML5 it seems that upgrading to IOS7 brings a lot of major bugs.
Do you know any resources regarding of how to deploy HTML5 on IOS?
Also I'm a .NET developer (also ASP.NET MVC) so HTML5 should be great.
Also do you have any intel regarding creating applications on Flex targeting IOS/iPad?
Is out there a comparison between native code, HTML5 and Flex (or other options)?
