<div>Ad: iOS vs MacOS. This is similar to running full QGIS on
android device, vs running QField (or similar "reduced"
application based on QtQuick). One thing is possibility to run
something somewhere, other thing is if it is usable at all. I
can imagine that it may be possible to compile and run QGIS on
a smart fridge, but ... :)</div>

I absolutely agree with you here, this is why I planned QGIS for
android as I did:<br>
- first let’s get it to run on android with the same UI, port all
the base libs and do all the background work and get a decent
version functioning. QGIS for android just had basic optimizations
for mobile devices and touch screens (which btw were implemented so
to allow any touch screen to be used, and not only android) but was
very well received and funny enough we still get requests for
updating it.<br>
- Then shift the focus on the UI and UX and replace it completely.
And that Is why we created QField. We originally called it QGIS
mobile but quickly changed it to not go against the QGIS trademark
rules.<br>

<div> If we want to ship something official for iOS (or Android)
on the official store(s), we would probably need to agree on
some application (&set of its features) based on qgis
quick.</div>

Where does the need for another official QGIS mobile application
come from? QGIS quick is based on the extracted core modules of
QField so they could be reused for custom applications.<br>
QField has over 100K downloads, is fully open source,has pushed QGIS
forward by pushing things to QGIS core instead of just to the app.
And - foremost - is the origin of QGIS quick and could be ported to
iOS with the same distribution caveats like any other QGIS based
app.<br>
<p>I’d really would rather see some more help coming to QField than
investing a lot of time to get to somewhere where QField already
is.</p>
