The GSOC 2010 iOS drawterm port does build and run on iOS 7+:

	https://bitbucket.org/jas/drawterm

Pull it, open iphone/drawterm.xcodeproj in the latest Xcode 5.x,
and you should be able to build and install it on an iOS device.
It actually works a bit better on iPads since the keyboard doesn’t
cover up everything you need in rio.
