I think they have a pretty good relationship with Apple. Apple used their app when shooting the M3 presentation on iPhone and they regularly demonstrate their computers with DaVinci Resolve. It runs really smooth on Mx machines.
The only reason I'm looking forward to NAB this year is that they could unveil the Android version of the app. At least one for Samsung and Google flagship phones. I love Blackmagic as a company but their apparent tight relationship with Apple worries me. I worry how much power and leverage Apple might have on what BM does or does not do. If Apple is the reason why there is never an Android version of the app, that would be very concerning. I'm sure some jurisdictions would consider this practice illegal, monopolistic and completely violating antitrust laws.
Blackmagic, please release an Android version. There are way more Android than iOS devices. So, looking at it from a business standpoint it makes not sense not to release an Android version that is just as good or better than the iOS version. This should be no different than developing a Windows and macOS versions of your software.
BM Please don't let us down!
