You can build an IOS app for it :)
Seriously I get requests for an IOS version all the time.

But you won't get rich - far from. Based on the development hours I would be better off if I did the lowest paid job I could find in the neighborhood. The kids mowing the lawn earn more per hour than I do from TelloFpv. As a freelance programmer I could easily earn 20x as much as TelloFpv pays me but I'm not here for the money. For me it's a hobby that offers some financial benefits.
Thats the main reason there will never be an IOS version of TelloFpv: I don't need it for myself and it will never pay enough money to make sense just from a financial point of view.

I like your outlook on your endeavor. It’s good to know that you are not in it for the money, rather the love of the hobby.

I’m not a lawyer, have never played one on TV, and haven't stayed at a Holiday Inn Express in years. But, I believe commercial use of a drone - regardless of size, weight, amount of remuneration, etc. - requires a license (to be legal). You’ll likely need a local business permit/ license as well

I’ve read of hefty fines being levied against realtors who pay a friend to take aerials of their properties for sale. Flying above a neighbor’s property is already a subject of debate regarding its legalities and common expectations of privacy.

I urge caution.
 
I took my test right before the shut down. Now waiting for the shutdown to end cause they arent processing any new results atm ...smh :(

After that, when you register with the faa with your test results, there is a 2 month waiting period for your certificate card to arrive.
 
They do give you a temporary flight certificate so you can fly while you wait. The blue slip on top is my drone's registration slip, that you must always carry when you fly.

I tried to upload on the faa website and put in the test code but nothing came up
