I'm the developer of the Android version of MobileOrg... and you, and the
developers of the IOS app, should be aware that they retired the old
version of their api and shut it off sometime in December or January...
that could be what's keeping it from working.  It's just a guess... I had
to release a new version of MobileOrg for Android in December to update it
to use the new api.
