Well, should such think materialize, I'd be worthwhile - and relatively 
easy in fact - to support direct launching of iOS apps on Android via 
Darling. Although I imagine Apple wouldn't be too happy about this, 
since I assume pirated iOS apps could then be run on (non-rooted) 
Android devices :-)

So far I haven't been lucky even with running a console iOS "Hello 
World" on Android, since the it segfaults even before Darling's main() 
is called. Crappy Android dynamic loader is to blame :-(
I've had a lot of "fun" with it on other occasions, too.

But I wish a lot of good luck to you. There is a *lot* of untapped 
potential in GNUstep...
