iOS port?

Developing stuff for iOS requires a macBook.

Since I don't have a macBook (and no iPhone either), I can't provide an iOS port myself.

Maybe someone who does can. I actually have one, so it's possible for me to do that in the future.

I even have a Mac and Xcode and Apple has made the whole process of using both MacOS and Xcode soo painful that I cannot wait to reboot back into Linux as soon as I'm done using whatever software only supports Mac and Windows. Xcode takes up over 25 GB of valuable SSD space at this point, since it's entirely unusable on a magnetic spinning disk, and I believe has made it over the million file mark, which probably has something to do with why it's so unusable on a magnetic disk! Bottom line I don't even have enough space to leave it installed and every time I reinstall it I end up regretting it very soon after opening it.

This is very much the 90's repeating itself, when Apple made things so difficult for third party developers they all abandoned the platform and Bill G himself had to personally save Apple from a Chapter 11 petition in the Bankruptcy Court for the Northern District of California. (MS ended up with 18 million shares of AAPL for the $150mil, and it has since split 28 times, but they sold it all in 2003 at a range of about $28-$42, so call it $35 and a tidy profit of $480mil, but if they held on they'd be sitting on 500 million shares worth $200 billion so, about double Warren Buffett's stack..)
