The whole point of this is to lock the DPT-RP1 down - you can't even drag-and-drop files on it through the file explorer.

Hence you can't just write a 'little iPhone app' with these features - unless your iPhone is jailbroken or Android phone is rooted you can't even mess with the network protocols in such ways. Hence why Sony has not - and will not - release an app for mobile phones. It's simply not possible and goes against the whole philosophy of the DPT-RP1 (being an extremely locked down device in comparison to the DPT-S1).
Just because the Digital Paper App works in a certain way with the RP1 to transfer files does not mean that an iPhone app would have to work the same way. I'm sure a solution could be devised that relied on the security features inherent in the iPhone, such as the thumb print, which is used for Apple Pay.

I think that you, and all of us, don't know enough to make any pronouncements regarding what is or is not possible.
