> it requires a bleeding edge iPhone

Ah, yes, as bleeding edge as the iPhone XS that was released in 2018.

> and only works on M1 Macs

It's using the compatibility layer that allows users to run iOS apps on the Mac. Which only works on M1+ Macs. OP isn't even marketing this as a Mac app, they likely just left the "compatibility mode" checkbox checked (as it is by default).

> it doesn't even make you money

The app contains ads. Presumably this is intended to make money and not just because OP felt like ads made their app look cool.

> I believe Apple changed their tune and now allows PWA submissions to the App Store. Almost certainly the same for the Play Store

Both of these stores require wrapping PWAs in "native" shells, at the minimum.

Next time you feel the need to show up as the first comment in someone's Show HN just to shit on their work, a) maybe don't, and b) if you gotta anyway, make sure your criticisms are based in reality.
