Looks great! Would you consider migrating to a cross platform development framework like Flutter or React Native. It would involve changing all of the code you've written so far but then in the long term you would only be managing one codebase for both android and iOS. Looking at the app you probably don't need any iOS or Android specific logic and if you do then Flutter supports this (I'm less sure about React Native but assume it would to.) I think if you made a new cross platform app and then asked claude to migrate bit by bit it might not take as long as you think.

wow, thanks, this is a great consideration! I went iOS-only mainly because Swift/SwiftUI was already a steep learning curve for me as a non-engineer. The bit-by-bit migration with AI assistance is an interesting idea I hadn't considered. Appreciate this!

Have you done a migration like this yourself?
