All
current eInk devices and the Fire tablets definitely support KF8 files. However, the iOS apps always lagged behind and only partially supported KF8 features, but they definitely support AZK books generated by KCB & Kindle Previewer.
(I've just created a small proof-of-concept book with KCB, side-loaded it with iTunes and had no problem opening it with the Kindle for iOS app.)
If your side-loaded AZK book isn't visible in the Kindle app, it might contain an error or an advanced KF8 feature not yet supported by the iOS app.
Did you check the console messages that are being displayed during the preview phase in the lower right corner for warnings and error messages?

IMHO, the market share of iOS apps on Apple devices is negligible compared with the market share of eInk Kindles and Fire tablets.
