It doesn’t sound too difficult to make the app cross-platform. The problem would be the needed testing before a release and that may involve owing the different computers etc. to make sure the app is running properly. More time and money and without a good place to market it. I can build my own website and get the needed computers for testing and do the cross-platform code later.
If Apple takes 30% then I will price it so that cost is included. If the app is good enough people will still buy it.
