Why Android First? (And When iOS is Coming)
Since announcing the beta, the most common question I've received is: "When is it coming to iPhone?" I want to be completely transparent about this.
The Technical Reality
Booklynx is built with Flutter, which is a fantastic technology that allows me to write code once and run it on both Android and iOS. The code itself is actually ready for iPhones right now!
However, Apple has a strict requirement: You must use a Mac to build and publish iOS apps.
The code is ready
The Hardware Hurdle
I am a solo developer working on this project in my free time. My development setup consists of Linux and Windows machines. I simply do not have access to a Mac at the moment, which means I physically cannot generate the file needed to put the app on the Apple App Store.
Being honest
How You Can Help
I am committed to bringing Booklynx to iOS, but I need to know that the demand is there before I invest in the necessary hardware.
I have set up a Feature Voting page. If you are an iOS user and you want Booklynx:
- Head over to the Voting Page.
- Vote for "iOS Support".
If that feature gets enough votes, I will know it's time to buy a Mac and get the iOS version into your hands.
Your vote matters
Thank you for understanding, and for supporting indie development!
