In my opinion, it isn't too hard to do if it's already written in obj-c with xcode. Pushing to the app store is actually quite a good motivator to make a decent icon and user interface. To be honest though, I've only app stored one other project (http://kin.am/grid http://kin.am/grid) and it's an iPhone app so I have no idea whether it pays off (Speaker was just published today). Grid (the iPhone app) doesn't make much per month but it's pretty passive income and nice to have a little extra beer money. After 1.5 years on the store, it has definitely payed decently for the time it took me to make. Moreover, the experience/resume boost it gives has been invaluable - developers who have pushed apps are in hot demand. EDIT: I guess it being worth your time depends on how much you make. I'm a student, so taking time away from paying gigs isn't such a big deal for me yet.
