Why not ? If they was only working for the software used by their phones, why develop for IOS. The main stuff is already there, working on two really different systems, so why not. And Nokia is as you said known for their publications/development on the Opensource community.
I know I’m a dreamer, but why not ? 
Actually, Withings has gone independent again since 2018 according to Wikipedia.
Why not indeed, but why? The business question will always be 'What’s in it for them?"
You’re asking them to do something that they don’t already do (specifically, invest time and money in doing and/or maintaining something) for which they will get no appreciable benefit. The number of people who use Sailfish is miniscule compared to Android/IOS. The number of people who would like to use a Withings smart watch with Sailfish is therefore a miniscule number of a miniscule number, so why would they want to bother?
I used to use Blackberry OS10, which was a great OS. In the early days, and still when it had tens of millions of users, Facebook, Linkedin, and loads of other well known apps were withdrawn from the OS10 platform by their owners because it just didn’t make economic sense for them to bother with Blackberry when just supporting IOS and Android hit something like 97% of the market. Its the same argument.
I’m not saying I like or agree with this approach, because it stifles diversity and any real competition, but I understand it from the business perspective - and that’s what these large corporations are, businesses and not charities.
So please go on dreaming, but don’t expect too much when you wake up 
Since I see the topic is back, I asked the Withings support, they said they would ask/follow up my request, to the dev team.
(Neil from Withings, if you are seeing this, thx for the help)
I asked if the dev team had perhaps an email address I could reach too and Neil told me to open a request on the Feature Request page, the tech team would often check the page out for ideas.
So we could open a request there and have some of the forum users to go support the request

Sorry, I didn’t see your reply. It seems all the reply of the Withing support are quite the same for everyone who tried to contact them for this topic. But the Feature Request Page is a new thing. I will check it.
Thanks for your help !
EDIT: There is the feature request I opened. If we could add some voices on it to make it more visible, it could be great.
just a friendly reminder. We have 2023 and it’s now this “never” when the built in browser finally is usable so it need some time 
Is this the topic? #2831 - WIP: Support for Withings Steel HR - Gadgetbridge - Codeberg.org

definitely its more usable than before. But compared with for example opera for android, its nothing special. It is still quite laggy, even in 4.5. Still forced to use android app instead linux app.
Has anyone managed connecting the Withings watches, scales, et cetera to the Withings app on SFOS v5?

my wife has one, tempted to try.
At least two users have succeeded:

I’ve yet to try myself (I have a Withings Nova), since I use it on my daily phone (until I get the J2 
).

Thank you for the update. I will try with my Scanwatch Nova 2 then.

Installed the app on the new Jolla, but the app keeps crashing. Connected to the watch after factory reset and bluetooth settings, but totally unusable due to constant crashes.

For me the app doesn’t crash, but the Bluetooth connection isn’t working. Completely useless. I have an Xperia 10 II.
I have a ScanWatch 2 and a Jolla C2. It works fine!
I first connected my watch directly to Sailfish Bluetooth, then I opened the Withings app, and it recognized the watch. The sync isn’t real-time, I need to stay on the watch’s page in the Withings app for it to sync eventually.
When I leave the Withings app running in the background, and it syncs on its own, but not always. Anyway, it kind of works, and that’s good enough for me, I don’t need real-time data

I reinstalled the Withings app. What I did was:
- Leave the watch to my profile on iPhone
- Disable bluetooth in iOS
- Login to Withings app on Jolla Phone
- Requires to go through the app hello shenanigans
- The app connected to the watch after a while
- It tried to connect a few times
- I tired searching for BT devices in SFOS, didn’t start searching
- Restarted BT from Utilities
- Still no BT search
- Went back to the Withings App on AAS
- Watch synced
So it seems there are some hickups with the BT in general (for me it crashes every now and then). Usually restarting through Utilities works, sometimes it doesn’t.
The app allowed me to select the Android apps for notifications - still waiting for a first notification to see if they work. I have a feeling (no testing) that enabling the Health Connect permissions started the app crashes, but can’t really confirm or deny this.
Syncing works quite nice and fast. 
Edit: Notifications work, at least for Signal Android app.
