As others have said it's rather unlikely that LilyPond might ever work
on iOS. And maybe it will not be the ideal tool for your use case either.

I suggest you have a look at the Verovio library (http://verovio.org),
which is a tool intended for high-speed flexible in-browser (for example
JavaScript) rendering of music.
