I would expect the malware developers already to have targeted iOS if it were possible?

There are over twice as many android devices as ios devices, so if you're a malware creator it might make sense only to target the biggest fish.
It would make sense to target both.
Who's to say they haven't already?
From the article: "The company develops mobile apps for both Android and iOS platform"

The apps are probably removed from both stores by now so we will never know ;)

They develop apps for both, but that doesn't necessarily mean they had the same adware in the iOS version.
But why not? This is not some complex exploit, just standard JavaScript.

I saw the same attitude after the xcode backdoor. "There is no reason to believe any personal data has been affected", well if apple didn't even knew this thing existed how could they possibly know if it was activly used??

Edit: according to reddit apple just pulled all apps made by these guys. Not a proof of anything but still something to consider
