		+	Hello fellow Christian developers,
		+
		+	I’m reaching out to ask for your help in reviving '''PocketSword''', a free and open-source iOS/iPadOS Bible app built on '''The SWORD Project''' engine by '''CrossWire'''. For many years, '''PocketSword''' served as a reliable, offline Bible study tool — giving access to hundreds of Bible translations, commentaries, and other resources.
		+
		+	Unfortunately, '''PocketSword''' has not been updated in several years and is no longer available on the '''App Store'''. The original developer is no longer maintaining the project, and the app does not meet Apple’s current SDK and 64-bit requirements.
		+
		+	===What we need:===
		+	* An '''iOS/iPadOS''' developer with experience in '''Swift''' or '''Objective-C'''
		+	* Familiarity with '''Xcode''' and the '''App Store''' submission process
		+	* Ideally, someone with a heart for open access to the Scriptures
		+
		+	===Why it matters:===
		+	'''PocketSword''' filled a vital niche on iOS/iPadOS — offering a lightweight, offline, ad-free Bible study app with deep module support. It integrates with '''The SWORD Project''' and supports over 500 free Bible modules from multiple sources, including the extensive library at [https://eBible.org eBible.org]
		+
		+	* If you’re interested in contributing — even just a little — we’d love to hear from you.
