The problema is not only the UI and affects Android as well.
For the majority of OS APIs there are no wrappers, beyond of what is available on the desktop + hardware sensors.
So basic stuff like file pickers or asking for permissions aren't even supported.
I tried it once back in 5.4 and gave up on it, going back to Java / C++.
For some applications (including the one I'm currently working on), you can get away with having nearly the same UI on Android and iOS, with just a little extra work to (for instance) give iOS users a more native-feeling navigation experience.
In regards to Flutter, I'm not sure if it's reasonable to expect the Flutter project to do a better job simulating native iOS widgets than Qt has been able to.
