Why are there so few open source weather apps for iOS, compared to the very many that are on Android?

All about open source! Feel free to ask questions, and share news, and interesting stuff!

I believe the tools for iOS development are only available on Mac.
Not completely true. The best by far is xcode, but swift is open source so if you develop your own toolkit instead of SwiftUI and replace all other proprietary *Kit then any old computer can do it. You can also use (usually cross platform) frameworks which have already done all of this like react native which makes it really easy to do in other OSes, however you will still only get the best experience using native libraries which can only be built from Xcode on a Mac. Maybe darling will open the doors to running that on Linux one day though!
How much harder would that be? Is react common on most open source projects? It feels like everyone in atleast the linux community hates it .
I don’t know, never used it. Just know that it exists and can do that.
