Unless they adapt it to run on iOS’s WebKit APIs then it’s unlikely you’ll see VSCode on an iPad. You’ll probably never see Electron apps on iOS because they violate the submission guidelines.

They could bring the pure editor with no extensions to iOS without violating the guidelines. Not entirely useful I suppose...

  They cannot. Apple forbids iOS apps that does JIT. V8 cannot run on iOS.

    The editor is a webapp that can run in any browser. It's what powers the new github codespace feature as well as most code editors in the azure portal.

    Well they could... The frontend can run in webkit as demonstrated by the various online versions of VSCode. There is a functional project to run nodejs on ios via V8 with jit disabled. That's probably a significant performance hit, but then a device like the iPad Pro really has resources to spare.
