What is the appropriate cross-platform methodology for iOS and Mac OS X?

Question

There seem to be many answers for cross-platform platforms for devices (iPhone + Android) and cross-platform frameworks for desktops (Mac + Win + Linux). This is another question regarding the appropriate structure, methodology, template application, tutorial, or just useful tips for developing your own applications (and not just web applications), which are cross-platform portable between the device’s OS and the desktop OS.

I want to write an application that can work both on my iPhone (or iPad), and compiled to run natively on Mac OS X (and not just in Simulator). I am ready to live only with basic interface elements that are common to both platforms (only 1 window, common buttons, text fields, etc.).

What is the best methodology for creating a couple of applications with a minimal number of #ifdef code overrides and other codes that will work on my iPhone and initially on my MacBook?
