I am planning on making an android app because I have a Google pixel 6 I got as a birthday gift and I love how open Android has gotten over the years.

I was wondering if it’s worth saving up to develop an iOS app. (The same app on Android, but for iOS) I know that the AppStore can be a good revenue spot for my app, not sure. My app will be free + Open Source Software, GPL (Version 3) of which I plan to add my own premium features or either a donation option for the privacy advocate folks.

I’ve had an iPhone 12 since 2021, and I’ve gotten used to our iOS works, how the system works in terms of iOS background and process’s.

One question;

can I use GPL (version 3) for my iOS app on the AppStore?

I’m just want your thoughts if I should…

Thanks!

    FWIW, you don’t need to pay the $99 until you’re ready to release on the app the store. In other words, you can develop and test locally for free. That should give you an opportunity to see if you’re truly interested in going all the way with iOS.
