If it’s about freedom then it is important to have Nostr and bitcoin apps in the App Store on Android AND iOS. Again, this is not so much about the current user base. Most people here can figure out workarounds if needed. I’ve used both iPhone and Android since 2008. I jailbroke and rooted every device I had through the years until a few years ago. I’m not concerned about my ability to use the apps and services I want to use. There are pros and cons to both platforms, but pretending the solution to this problem is to tell all iPhone users to use android instead is shortsighted and a nonstarter.

That's where we're at though. It may be a non-starter for you, but there are billions of people that can't afford Apple products.
The way to Apple's heart has always been through their wallet and marketshare.
Build the apps elsewhere and make the users demand it and want it.
They'll eventually cave after a few years, per their track record.
Disagree. I think switching to Android is the solution, at least short term. It's the only way to get Apple to reverse their policy. By law they're allowed to do what they're doing. Changing the law is unlikely to happen since we live in an oligarchy.
