When I tested my footnote test file with iBooks only
epub:type="footnote" footnotes defined as asides in the same book worked. However, iBooks isn't fully ePub3-compatible and other apps have no problems with endnotes.

Unfortunately, it doesn't. At least it didn't play nicely with my test file. However, since the IDPF has posted several slightly different footnote examples, it's quite possible that my footnote implementation is wrong.
It's also quite possible that my footnote examples worked fine with Kindle files, because KindleGen most likely ignores most or all of the epub3 specific footnote attributes and the firmware only uses heuristics to detect footnote references.
