something I don't know about, is it (theoretically, if legally) possible to adapt externals so that they run with libpd?
Yes. People are using externals in their libpd projects. You simply include the external sources and then define & call their external’s setup function. I recently added a wiki page about this: https://github.com/libpd/libpd/wiki/Adding-Pure-Data-external-libraries-to-y... https://github.com/libpd/libpd/wiki/Adding-Pure-Data-external-libraries-to-your-project
also, does it mean that the core libpd is the same in both android and ios, or did you need to adapt libpd for pdparty? or, you just programmed everything around libpd, but left libpd as it is?
Yes, libpd is same for desktop, Android, and iOS. The only difference is some language wrappers (Java, Obj-C) and a couple extra interfaces to provide audio I/O. PdParty then uses libpd and a custom UI which communicates with the libpd instance and any patches currently loaded. I’ll go into all of this in a paper for Pd Con :)
