As a temporary workaround for this, the website client is built to work on mobile so you can use that to download files. The website can also be installed as a PWA.

When doing this as a PWA on iOS, there is no indication that a download is being done until it is complete. Additionally, the default download button does more than just download the epub file. It downloads all files in a zip format. It might be more user friendly to have a separate button that “downloads all ebook files” for a particular book. That last point might just be my own use case though since you can get just the ebook by going to the individual files at the bottom.
