Wise words. Past a certain point mixing and (especially) mastering well requires a studio setup. Someone could build a pro studio setup around an iOS device if they wanted, but at that point there’s not much of an advantage to doing everything in the iOS box.
This is especially relevant to the OP’s point about mixing and mastering being done 100% in iOS. Arguably, there’s no such thing as a ‘pro’ track that hasn’t gone through some amount of mixing and mastering in a well calibrated studio monitoring environment.
Would it be acceptable to loosen the requirement to E.g 90% produced on iOS? 👹
90% and I could really do it without sacrificing efficiency or quality...well for certain styles of music. ..........Personally, I am also mainly a singer and guitar player, so I have all sorts of other less mobile gear.
This is a rock record that also fit's the contemporary attribute.
When I first listened to it, I really asked myself how the hell was this mixed ?
(having a certain analog touch that most Cubase/VST mixes of the genre lack)
It was posted here (ages ago) by @mrufino1 and he commented that he'd done practically the complete album mix in Auria, not shure if it was the 'pro' version those days.
But (as you may guess) the sources were recorded with appropriate gear in an appropriate environment.
And another but: he's not going to repeat this attempt, as it turned out way too fiddly.
This straight rock, where you rarely deal with small sound snippets here or sonic gimmicks there... and still it was (according to him) not the most amusing procedure
At least this proves that IOS sound processing is there
The user interface (pretending to be sooo friendly...) just is not - when it comes to convenience and efficiency. You want the routine part of the job done quickly.
That's something not so flashy and wouldn't even give you (as a developer) raving revues
Because such features usually reveal their potential only after a certain time of use.
(under deadline conditions, not while just playing with an app for a couple of minutes)
For electric guitar I’d have an especially hard time making do without Thermionik (running at max quality - 32x oversampling) if I have to go direct and process everything with software. But that might be a me problem (I’m a little too fond of complex low to medium saturation with no perceptible aliasing in the mids and highs). Oh well...
Full movie sound track composed and mixed in Gadget. Looks like mixed down and then mastered on PC. Not sure what they did (compression/EQ/limiting, or just metadata stuff - if further processed, mastering could have been done with Fabfilter plugins I bet)

I have two songs so far I released (writing some yoga/relax music for my wife)...don't know how professional they sound, but Spotify/Amazon/Google/Youtube took them
iTunes has not posted them yet...I heard they are scrutinizing more what they put on their store.

It‘s possible and i got myself a few tracks some years ago into a (local
) radio and played in a club from a DJ which were created just on an iPhone 4 with 3 apps. 
It‘s just a matter of workflow and what kind of music/sound it should be.
We should stop to see iOS music as a kind of own genre. It‘s just awesome music made on computers by creative people
Yes times 1,000,000. ios is a tool, not a genre.
Your stuff was galaxy explorer, correct? I really enjoyed that when I heard it.
Well as it happens...(without sounding Big Headed, But very humble).& this is not Bullshit..... Ahem!..... I have just given the legendary Chicago TRAX Record Label a few tracks, 6in total) as they asked me to make an EP.... They didn’t want the Disco/Soulful House Stuff... (well almost they did, they asked me if I did any Acid/Tech House tracks) So I gave them about 6 tracks, which by I done solely on iPad... Inthink they want to release it around February I think? ( but they are doing the Mastering).. So it’s my 2nd project with them (first being “Jazz Acid” Single a year ago, but that wasn’t solely done on iOS)... I’m So stoked... When it does get released, officially, I’ll repost it here... I really didn’t think it would be acceptable, but they loved it... I was quite surprised, as it’s just Acid House Stuff, I mainly done with Troublemaker, as the main theme( obviously as it all Acid tracks)..... Here’s a couple of tracks from the EP... Bearing in mind, this Label started the “Acid House” scene at the very beginning.....
Here is the “Jazz Acid” Track I did with them..... On the TRAX Label....
Lol, yes. I miss this time often now since i have so many tools and not enough time to explore and master them.
Sadly i lost mainly all of my iOS tracks from the past (must be 200-300 or so).
I even have no access to my own album i did once with my iPone and iPad Air 1 some years ago.
But iOS was for me a start into making my own music and i think here it really is a wonderful thing.
I decided to go full and migrated more to mac but also love to use and include iOS apps as sound source, controller or whatever. But it´s also fine if you start and stay inside iOS or migrate from desktop tools to iOS.
There are no rules...and if...break them!
For me it was mainly the genre and tools i needed (or better say wanted) for my personal usage. Otherwise i would have no problem to use iOS only and even just my current iPhone 6S.
I think a "pro" don´t care what he/she use for creating music as long as it fits the workflow and gives the right results. And a listener even more so......
A related question I often seek the answer for is something like: can you use an iPad Pro to do professional web development on, instead of using an old-fashioned type of computer? I think for that scenario the answer is even more lost and occluded than it is for music.
