Potential expansion to iOS Platform?
As an Android user, I have been enjoying Summit via the Play Store, and have also explored the GitHub APK option.
However, I was curious if Summit has ever considered the potential possibility of expanding Summit to the iOS platform?
This would likely appeal to a broader audience and open up more opportunities for users across different ecosystems.
Currently, Summit is well-represented on the Android side, and considering iOS compatibility could enhance its reach and user base SIGNIFICANTLY.
I personally believe that this would be a strategic move to grow Summit's presence in the mobile app market.

Unfortunately this is not happening as I hate iOS development.
Lol, fair enough.
iOS already has quite a few Lemmy apps, like Arctic, Mlem or Voyager. It also takes quite some work to port an app from one OS to another

Plus, I don't like cross platform design. Summit has an Android design and I don't like this on iOS

There could be a potential separate iOS Theme that users could choose, similar to how Voyager does it.

That way, users could decide whether they want Summit to have an iOS design, or an Android design.
Voyager is a bit of an exception, IIRC it's the only app that's available on both platforms. Usually people just stick to one. iOS also requires a MacBook to develop apps IIRC
Thunder is available on both platforms as well, but I'm pretty sure it doesn't look as good on IOS as IOS-specific apps
