So that's why there weren't any open source apps on iOS. When I started my degoogling journey I got an iPhone to try out the grass on the other side. But i was sorely disappointed by both the low quality of the apps and the lack of open source alternatives.

There is some, but it's mostly large projects with a lot of funding.

There's some oss projects on the app store that cost money as a way to cover the fee

There are some open source iOS apps. VLC, Organic Maps, Psychonaut Journal, NetNewsWire, lots of Lemmy clients.

Don't forget about apple aggressively blocking any form of sideloading for a while

Still happens in the US, sadly. The EU forced them to allow sideloading, but the US version of iOS still tries to prevent it.
