Android and iOS support

[quininer]

I think we can look at how chromium is implemented.

Any updates on this?

Nope -- but if you're willing to contribute I'm happy to provide any guidance you need.

TBH, I was planning on it because of https://github.com/paritytech/subxt/issues/563. However, using webpki seems to work on Android.

Android and iOS are both supported by https://github.com/rustls/rustls-platform-verifier

Is there user demand for a native-certs solution or should we suggest users consider using the platform verifier instead? That crate isn't quite ready for primetime but I also suspect we can get it ready sooner than we could add support for those platforms here.

iOS support might be as easy as enabling the security-framework path for ios in addition to macos, I think?

But in general, the rustls-platform-verifier is probably a better alternative for most use cases.

rustls-platform-verifier has been released and is probably a better option in most cases.
