Well the beta is downloaded not through app store, but i don't know much about apple so ok.
Apple doesn't make it quite so easy to install an app outside of their store; it is definitely much more difficult in Apple to run a quick open beta like this.
Apple iOS uses test flight which has been a painless process to beta test apps, but I was always invited so i am not sure if an open beta is difficult through testflight or if CapGames just isn't interested in beta testing that route. If they do their private beta testing already on android then it makes sense to stick with android. Also, I am not sure if Apple lifted the number cap but it used to be a max of 1k participants in closed betas.

lol why the saltiness then? Android has always been the place for Beta testing. Apple has rules against betas on their app store.
Thanks for the info @LynnYoda
