iOS improvements

The iOS toolchain is improved with better native framework support and more reliable compilation for Apple devices.

from kivy.app import App
from kivy.uix.boxlayout import BoxLayout
from kivy.uix.button import Button

class MobileApp(App):
    def build(self):
        layout = BoxLayout(padding=20, spacing=10)
        for label in ['Action 1', 'Action 2', 'Action 3']:
            btn = Button(text=label, font_size='18sp')
            layout.add_widget(btn)
        return layout
