Replit isn’t designed to create mobile apps it would take years to make it as advanced as Xcode, I would suggest following this tutorial on how to use SwiftUI on Xcode

I’ve never tried it myself but I think you can use Swift Playground for iPad, not 100% sure though

Yeah, you could. But could you publish it?

I think you need to publish through the Apple Developer Program no matter to how to make your app

iOS developers have to either buy a Mac, buy a cloud Mac from MacStadium or the like, or just try to Hackintosh their current computer (which is usually less for “I want macOS for free” and more for “I want better processing power for macOS”.)

There is little point to it except education.
Honestly, Replit is best used for web centric applications or for background stuff. Anything else is best done locally.
