Giving away free software on the appstore is gonna cost you $100/yr developer license. Sure, the more apps you make dilutes the cost, but it doesn’t seem like that inviting of a space for maintained free apps.

You'll also need a Mac computer for the happy path so it's more than $100/year.
Free for non-profits though.

I'm a little surprised there isn't an open source non-profit set up to act as an umbrella for open source iOS app development.

Then one bad app and the whole account is nuked. Not a great setup unless with explicit blessing from Apple, which they won’t give.
