I just released Incus Mobile Server v1.4.0 and its Android Client v0.6.0. This new version is completely project aware. It is also now cluster aware. It adds snapshot management for admin level users. I have a YouTube Video on the first release and the GitHub is here. The Android client is an asset for the server. This is the first Incus Mobile management system I am aware of. Hopefully you all find it useful.

Nice to see the project that lower the barrier to enter Incus world in the homelabs.
I’m following closely and keep finger crossed.
I hope iOS app will follow.
As I understand the server expose API that will allow also 3rd party clients. Am I right?
The server does have an API for the Android client. I’ve not really documented it fully yet. I thought about an IoS client. However, unlike Android Studio that runs on Windows, Linux and MacOS, the IoS development tools run on Apple and only Apple. I have nothing in the Apple ecosystem. I looked into acquiring a used Apple development platform and a minimal iPhone to do this. However, the costs are crazy. So, I won’t be doing IoS until the tools are in Linux.
There is an entrance barrier unfortunately.
Last year when I need Mac I rented remote machine Apple silicon M1 as-a-Service. Cloud Mac | Scaleway
But it still a cost. In particular if you need it for longer time.
Using cross platform framework like Flutter reduce the work on cross platform mobile app and the need for Apple hardware , but anyway you need it to build .ipa files and publish to AppStore . And of course for testing.
Anyway when you deliver and stabilize the API the other devs could build the the mobile apps.
