@KevinBurke , I actually got it "fixed". For some reason, the editing template attribute was not copying over from the source to the target on iOS (even though they share the schema field names and domains). That was blowing everything up, as that attribute drove hide/show functionality on the rest of the form groups. I ended up just defaulting/hard-coding that particular attribute in the target layer, and then things started working a bit better. However, it was still not copying over other attributes that were not contained on the smartform. So the last step was to create another group of non-editable attributes at the bottom of the smartform (not-expanded by default)...simply to "receive" these other attributes. Now it working fine.
I will still note that I had to do neither of these steps on Android...everything just copied over perfectly on the first try, without these modifications. I think this is one of those shrug my shoulders and move on kind of things.
