Are you saying that the IOS version of trust wallet is open source while the Android version is closed source?
That was certainly the case for a while - they closed the source for the Android app to try to prevent malicious copies of the app appearing on the Google Play store:

However, looking at their GitHub repository it looks like both the Android and Apple apps are now closed source:
https://github.com/trustwallet/trust-wallet-android-source
- archived, last commit October 2018
https://github.com/trustwallet/trust-wallet-ios
- archived, last commit December 2018
It seems that their underlying libraries are open source (

), but not the wallet apps themselves.
