So the license part (due to statically linking) is still the major barrier for the community. Yes. To static link, you need to buy a commercial mono license. To use the runtime without a static compilation, it is "free", but licensed LGPL, which will be disallowed from the AppStore. Sorry, I didn't explain properly earlier.
