This made me smile. A true test of human-like intelligence. Maybe they could take some entry level jobs (“I can make a nice Wordpress site”) and build a CV?

Let’s be honest. It’s a mess targeting iOS. It’s like the old days with VB - first 80% done in no time, last 20% takes forever, requiring ever more elaborate hacks to get around stupid restrictions (eg try hiding the keyboard associated with a TextField when you tap on a Picker).
