MODERATORS
Conversations for android is an example of a good XMPP client.
Any iOS equivalent?
Monal comes close.
Motal is participating in GSoC this year to get some new features too.
But this is a wider issue that developing free software for Apple products is way too expensive (time & money) to be feasible while also going against the general free software ethos. It should be no surprise the walled garden of a proprietary OS that charges you to publish to their store has a severe lack of free or otherwise ethical software (which is important for security for something as important as a messaging app full of private data).
