Orbot uses tun2socks to connect the Android VPN interface to the tor SOCKS
port. iCepa/OnionBrowser on iOS uses tun2tor for a similar setup. Both
of these approaches have issues since they involve setting up network
sockets. Since both Android and iOS now both load tor as a shared
library, the best possible interface would be for the tor shared library
to directly provide the TUN interface on both platforms. It could be an
optional feature like the HTTP CONNECT feature.
