    I assume its because ios users donate more money to the Mastodon project compared to android users.

    Edit: or maybe because Apple users are overrepresented among Mastodon donors.

      No, Eugen has previously stated that he does not want an official app at all and is happy with the 3rd party ones available for Android. He then later changed his stance somewhat to recognizing that there arn’t really many 3rd party developers interested in making iOS apps and therefore developing a high quality app for iOS is more important than having yet another one for Android.

      Personally I think Apple and Apple users can go f*ck themselves, but if Eugen wants to put his time into developing a good iOS client that is really his business alone.
