PPSSPP for iOS
Apple does not allow emulators in their App Store (though, it seems they may be reconsidering), and does not support side-loading like Android does, so installing PPSSPP on iOS requires an ever-changing set of hacks.
Due to this, PPSSPP for iOS is not officially supported - though, we do try to keep it building. If it works, it works.
It's highly recommended that if you are interested in emulation on mobile, use Android instead.
However, there are some ways to install it.

Missing features
The iOS build is missing a few features:
- Virtual keyboard input
- Camera input
- Microphone
Logging in to RetroAchievements
Due to the missing keyboard, this is not possible. You'll have to login on another device, then transfer your login manually.
You'll have to figure out the exact paths yourself, can't help you with this.
What you need to transfer, to the corresponding place on the iOS device is:
- PSP/SYSTEM/ppsspp_retroachievements.dat
- In PSP/SYSTEM/ppsspp.ini, from the section
[Achievements], the line starting withAchievementsUserName
