Hi back,

Yes, iOS support is being maintained in an LDC fork right now.  As far
as I can it tell, it more or less works.  It would be cool if you can
use with it and Joakim's Android version too.

Easiest way to get started is to use the pre-built compiler chain from
here:

  https://github.com/smolt/ldc-iphone-dev/releases

Or follow the instructions to build the compiler chain yourself:

  https://github.com/smolt/ldc-iphone-dev/blob/master/README.md

You get a 2.068 based compiler along with phobos.  Once LDC 1.0.0 is
released with 2.069 front end, I'll update the iOS fork.

Take a look at the README.md and if you have questions just ask.  I'd
very much like to help make your project a success.
