Maybe talk to Apple, whom have made it increasingly hard to theoretically impossible for our type of privacy preserving app to run on iOS. We aren't the first, and Brair has been around a bit longer and has run into the same problem.

As an even smaller team with less funding, we have so far decided it would be irresponsible to risk sinking a sizable portion of our limited funds into trying to port to iOS when it may be impossible.
But if you really want it, please, donate, we need iphones, macs, dev accounts and budget for the research and work!
Talking to Apple won't change the circumstance that I am alluding to, which is that most people willingly opt for closed, centrally censored platforms.
You can't solve this problem at the application layer.
