I'm going to be getting a new (well, "newer" phone soon and it'll be an iPhone 11. So my question is, once the new Aurora Mobile App is released to the public, will it be available to iPhone users as well? I'm sure your dev team develops the app with Android in mind, and I understand that. But due to my current financial situation, I am forced to temporarily switch to an iPhone for the time being. I will switch back to Android, but I do not know when that will be.

If you folks have no interest in bringing the app to iPhone, that's fine. It's a minor inconvenience and I'll just stick with using the desktop Aurora app on my PC at that point.

I just thought I would ask what you your plans were regarding the iPhone.

Once again, I would just like to say I greatly appreciate all the work you (PWizard) and the rest of the CH staff do. Keep up the great work.

I find your financial situation reason for swapping to iPhone a little confusing considering you can get a well functioning android phone for like 150$ where cheapest iPhone 11 is 500$ unless you're somehow getting it for free used..

Anyhow, CH is based in the US where Apple has a high market share, the app will be on the app store as the current mobile app is only difference is android let's you upload anything any time where Apple has a longer review process so android gets it first.

The app is currently available for both phone types. If apple jerks us around again it would be available to apple devices after android

The iPhone 11 I'm getting is a hand-me-down. So I'm not paying anything for it. The financial situation I'm in is basically not wanting to put another phone payment on our family's shared mobile plan. Otherwise I would've gone with my preferred phone, which is an Android.

Our "goal" is to make it available to both, but since it's easier (thanks to Apple) to code and maintain an Android app, it will likely show up there first, but both versions will be up for beta testing before that if you are interested when the time comes.

Coding iOS apps should be very easy, it's only the politics of the app store that should get in the way.

Also regarding beta, iOS also especially has some bad politics in that testflight has a limit to how many can use it, idk how likely it is to be reached but perhaps make it available to plus members for a time as a head start to get a "spot" some apps I need from testflight I can't get cuz there's like a million people trying to get a spot and it has like 10k cap LOL

If you have like 250$ you could get a xiaomi x3 pro, which is android, not the best phone on the market but it is android, should be a few others around that cheap price point that I just don't know about specifically
