However, compared to the Google Play Store, the costs are considerably higher. Apple charges a fee of $100/year to publish apps on the store, and it is required to have Apple hardware to develop and publish apps. Since I do not own Apple hardware, I will need to rent a Mac in the cloud for development. - -I estimate the total costs to be $350/year, which includes the store fee and cloud hardware costs necessary to publish and maintain the app for iOS. - -Since I am not an iPhone user, I have decided to rely on community donations to make the app available on this platform. - -If you would like to see this app on the App Store, please consider donating using the following button: - -

-Once the goal of $200 has been donated, I will start working on the App Store release.
