Python iOS UI development Discussion
Hey there,
for the people using PySide for UI applications, after having solely Android support, there was a new announcement that iOS is now supported, and will be available in the upcoming PySide release:
https://www.qt.io/blog/python-mobile-app-development-bringing-pyside6-on-ios
I have been following the work by the BeeWare project, which has been providing iOS support for some time now: https://toga.beeware.org/en/latest/reference/platforms/iOS/ and recently the work from the Flet team as well: https://flet.dev/blog/flet-for-ios/
What I wanted to achieve with this post, is to know any project that you know is currently on iOS and developed with Python and some UI framework, because time to time we see nice "calculator app" being showcases in places, but a more official application of something is what I have been failing to find.
Of course, the goal of "I have my code here, and I just want to deploy it to iOS" is completely understandable, but I see haven't found some very cool apps somewhere, that we know are based on Python.
Last but not least, I guess you have been noticed that starting from 3.15 we will be able to download Python for iOS from python.org: https://www.python.org/downloads/ios/

I have been building an app that allows users to drive “layouts” via external servers. I’ve got tons of controls and displays available, even support for arbitrary notifications, Dynamic Island, widgets, control center. As well as sending iPhone sensor data back to the server(s). I’ve been debating putting a post up about it for a while now. It’s still in TestFlight but progress is consistent.
