iOS/iPadOS SSH Sandboxing in Prompt

Can Prompt connect to iOS devices?

Due to the design of iOS/iPadOS this is not possible. iOS/iPadOS does not have a SSH server, so there is nothing for Prompt to connect to.

In iOS 7 Apple introduced some new restrictions that prevent sandboxed apps from SSHing into localhost, even on Jailbroken devices.
