It took about one week to make DlangUI android backend once I 
managed to build NativeActivity example by Joakim's instructions.

I would say it will take a week or too to make iOS backend once 
we have working compiler for iOS (in my estimations it will have 
1K-2K lines of D code and 1K-2K lines of obj-c code.

Unfortunately, I have no experience with objective C neither with 
iOS programming.

Android port was easy for me because DlangUI was a kind of 
port/reimplementation of my C++ cross platform GUI library I used 
for my CoolReader GL project (e-book reader).

Please let me know issue you face when using DlangUI for mobile 
development.

No, I'm not planning to participate.
D is just a hobby for me.
