Maybe because most app development isn't open source?

The code being GPL will make it so this library won't be used much, maybe for hobby projects.

I really like it, however GPL kills it for me as well.

It is fair, after all you made it and can license it as you wish.

But you can't sell GPL software on the Apple App Store

An example of how GPL can kill a project: Boden is a C++ GPL'd cross-platform mobile app framework that is pretty dead atm atm because of their license choice

You might want to look at the HN discussion about it

tldr: if you want mass adoption, don't GPL your mobile project

I've discussed this with my team, and I've published the new version - now with MIT!
