I assume (with the case of Uber) there's a significant a amount of tooling (also dependency management of shared deps) and build engineering that also contributes to this number. Would be interesting to know how those numbers are split between those disciplines.

Soundcloud, according this keynote (in Spanish) has 30 iOS developers. In the slides you can read ~20, but he says 30 (and growing up).

According to a Facebook engineer there were 429 engineers working on the iOS app in a single week. Which would imply the team is bigger than that.
