  1. How much did you pay, in general, to create an app for apple and
  2. If there would only be Android (including sideloading) and Linux Mobile, would you prefer that?

You need a developer license to distribute an app on Apple's App Store. It costs 99 USD per year.

Platform choice is determined by your target audience and your goals. I previously developed for both iOS and Android. Without mass adoption, Linux mobile apps would not be economically feasible.

My position is different as a hobbyist but I do not have a use case for a Linux mobile app at the moment.
