QtTermTCP or other KISS terminal for iPhone App?

 

There are several apps for iPhone for AX.25 in unconnected mode (APRS) but I can only find one for UI/connected mode and that is incorporated into Radiomail.
I would like to be able to use an iPhone to connect to a packet (BPQ) BBS or node over RF.?? For example an HT, Mobilink and iPhone.?
?
It appears there is a MacOS compile of QtTermTCP
Does anyone else see a use for this on iOS?? If so, how difficult would this be?
?
Other options for connected mode on iOS?
?
I have all the pieces to do this, but no experience building iOS apps or with KISS.???? I can use BLE interface to communicate with serial devices, but the easier solution would be a software solution to existing TNCs, rather than build a external TNC2 for connected mode.? The idea of a Pi Zero W 2 strapped to a HT and VNC from an iPhone has crossed my mind but it doesn't seem to be the right way to do this, or power efficient.
?
Implementing a simple command line terminal in Radiomail seems like it would be a possible shortcut since it has all heavy lifting done already?
?
For those suggesting Android or other portable devices, moving my phone to another platform is not an option...at this point.? Feel free to DM and convince me otherwise!

Damon,

You might find DigiPi interesting.
