If you get an Android you can use termux and do literally anything. I like to write websites, write newsletters in vim and run a jekyll instance, transcode video with ffmpeg, etc.

Termux and DOSBox are great for running or writing software on a phone. I almost never resort to installing or writing apps anymore as that is just more cumbersome and has APIs that keep breaking (not to mention the threats from Google about making non-Play app deployment more regulated).

I think the remaining friction is mostly ergonomics and integration

Termux for iOs might also be available, cursory searching suggests.

		Termux on Android is truly phenomenal in its capabilities. Unfortunately, nothing even close to it exists on iOS. Termux from the App store is completely unrelated, and essentially a scam.

		The iOS one is pretty much just an SSH client (and also seems like a different developer piggybacking off the name)

		ish and a-Shell both give you a terminal and some sort of semblance of a Unix vm with package management. Both good but nowhere near the termux ecosystem and integration
