I just use a reading application which will connect to calibre and allow downloads from the app, rather than sending from calibre. it works. Marvin, Shubook, eBook Mobi and many others do this. iBooks does not, but you can access your calibre books in dropbox (I store my calibre library in my dropbox folder on my computer) and then open in for any apps you may prefer, which dont connect directly with Calibre.

[edit] For the info of the OP... .apk extensions are always android. .ipa extensions are always iOS. HOWEVER you cannot just randomly download an .ipa file from somewhere on the net and expect it to work on your iOS device, because all iOS apps are tied to your app store ID. For example, if I were to upload something I bought from the store, and you downloaded it... it wont work. Its tied to my ID.
