Ask HN: How can I get iOS projects

I am a long time lurker here. I started solo 1 year back to try some product ideas, but, it didn't work out yet. As I am running out of cash, I am looking for projects especially building native mobile apps. I find it difficult and confusing thinking about how to attract such projects. For background, I have published 10+ apps in the Appstore done while working for previous company. 90%+ of the work of these apps were done myself (excluding design). But, those are client apps for various companies, not as slick as Uber app and none of them have big downloads. I was trying to apply to Gigster as contractor, but, they ask description 'Most interesting / challenging / best' projects. None of the projects I did were so challenging[0]. So, I gave up applying to Gigster. People telling there is lot of opportunity for mobile apps developers, but, I don't see that sitting here in SE Asia. What is the best way I should proceed so that I could get a few projects? [0] At least I think so now, but, some of them were definitely challenging when I was implementing some new thing for the first time.
