Hello Geert, To help I need guidance and direction. I have never developed as
part of a project such as gnuCash before. If you can think of a good first
exercise, I am willing to try.

Hi Camille,
Most of the code relevant for your viewer is indeed C/C++. Parts are gnucash
are also written in guile, but if I understand correctly that language is not
available on iOS.
I'm working on separating the guile parts from the non-gui core of gnucash
specifically to make it easier to port that core to platforms such as iOS or
Android.
Unfortunately that work isn't completely done yet so I will concede that at
this stage it may take some effort to get it going. Perhaps you are interested
in helping out with this ?
Regards,
Geert
