Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

After 2 years of on and off development I finally published my first app on the App Store. Spotter is a workout tracker with a focus on a very 'iOS' like UI (similar to Apollo for Reddit). Also no subscriptions. Let me know what you think!
For architecture I went with something close to what kickstart uses but with the use of Combine instead of rxSwift (https://github.com/kickstarter/ios-oss). It turned out pretty well and made testing relatively easy.

Where can i start to learn ReactiveCocoa for swift, except official documentation?
Kickstarter's iOS app uses ReactiveSwift. You can take a look and see real-life examples.

View model's I/O approach applying Reactive Programming
Ever since I've started using MVVM architecture with Reactive programming, I've been searching for a similar architecture that will fit my needs and more appealing. I found one and it's from Kickstarter, albeit I did not adapt it fully, just the concept of it. Below is a sample of what I'm using right now. I've created a simple sign in form app that focuses on the validation of input data from the user.

What perfomance tests/apps would interest you between Hackintosh ( i9 9900k, 5700XT, 32GB ram ) and Mac Mini m1, Macbook Air M1 ( both base models) [ for a Youtube Video ] , thanks ☺️
Xcode compilation! You could for instance try compiling the Kickstarter iOS project on all computers and compare speed.

Apple allows applications to track user locations without authorization
>API seems to specifically be for apps created by owners of WiFi hotspots to help users connect to those hotspots.
VPN apps also seem to use it: https://github.com/pia-foss/mobile-ios/blob/4618b55161ec5b8b...

Mullvad VPN was subject to a search warrant
I'm satisfied with the transparency Mullvad has shown by publishing its 9 audits.[1] I also appreciate how Mullvad releases up-to-date source code for all of its software clients, which I consider a bare minimum for any VPN to even be considered.[2]
Private Internet Access, on the other hand, does not release up-to-date source code for its software clients:
- PIA Android client: latest source release v3.14.0 (Mar 18, 2022) vs. latest Google Play release v3.18.0 (Feb 22, 2023)[3]
- PIA iOS client: latest source release v3.14.0 (Mar 18, 2022) vs. latest App Store release v3.20.0 (Mar 1, 2023)[4]
- PIA desktop client: latest source release v3.3.0 (Feb 23, 2022) / v3.4.1-beta1 (Aug 18, 2022) vs. latest downloadable release v3.3.1 (unknown)[5]
- PIA browser extension: latest source release v3.1.0 (May 31, 2021) vs. latest Chrome Web Store release v3.2.0 (March 8, 2022)[6]
It's not clear to me how much of a say you still have in PIA's operations, but if you have any influence, I kindly ask you to direct them to release the source code of PIA's clients on time, every time a new client version is released. Having open source clients was the PIA's last claim to credibility after PIA was acquired by the former adware/malware distributor Kape Technologies.[7]

Any good resources/advice for developing a VPN app ?
No idea but the PIA VPN app for swift is open source. At the very least you can dig through the code here and figure something out

Why Librem Tunnel is Leaving iOS – Purism
Note that the underlying application for Librem Tunnel on iOS ( https://github.com/pia-foss/vpn-ios ) is still on the Apple store and can still be used with the Librem One services ... one simply needs to perform the setup yourself (much like one needs to do for Librem One Mail on Apple).
