Did you not read the message

I think this is the relevant plugin thread ==>> iOS reader applications

As you'll see the IOS plugins for calibre have had problems for some time - at least a year I'd say.

However, an IOS version of Calibre Companion has just been released - I don't think it needs any calibre plugins. That's probably the best way to go.

Yes, the IOSRA plugin is effectively dead, unless you are running an old version of IOS.
