Does anyone have an example of one of these clone apps that has done well?

Why does this process only work in PlayStore and not IOS as well?

Along with slower vetting, iOS has an annual fee of $99, while Android has a one-off fee of $25, which is probably enough to put people off.

not to mention needing a thousand dollar laptop to develop on (and a thousand dollar phone to test on)

apple his a pretty rigorous review process for every app submitted where they manually test them
