I'll add this to the bug, but the underlying reason is that on iOS all browsers are forced to use the Safari browser's engine; this means that any of the standards-based enhancements that Firefox and Chrome bring to other platforms, such as Service Workers (used in the Web Staff Client for offline transaction support etc), won't work on iOS until Apple updates Safari to support those standards as well.
In short: to make the web staff client work on iOS in even a limited fashion, the Evergreen developers will have to add Safari to the supported web browser list. Requiring developers to have an iOS device to even start debugging this particular issue is a barrier for some of us.
