When the technology stacks are different, there is no easy way to port an application, and it comes down to a rewrite (you may be able to use some code but don't count on it).

The only thing you can do is make a list of the features you want and go through them.

so it will be a step to rewrite the code in different environtment?

and after i make a list of features it will help me to port it separately? i still dont understand why i must make a list, and what can i do after i make a list?

sorry for too many question...

Treat the project as a green field (new from scratch), use the list of features and start implementing them on your technology stack.

as if i know, correct me if im wrong, the main reason why porting exist is to reduce the cost to develop it. it's cheaper than developing app from scratch.
if we developing from scratch again, is it still called a "porting"?
