Thanks to the wonders of MonoGame, Solar 2 has now been ported and released to iPad https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/solar-2/id599263900?ls=1&mt=8

Took just a couple days to get it working on the device. The entire port (from "I think I'll make an iPad version" to upload to the App Store) took under a week (Solar 2 was already ported to MonoGame for the Mac and Linux ports, so it was just porting from those platforms to iOS).

"Is MonoGame really viable to make iOS games?" was a question floated to be several times during this port. The answer is a resounding "yes".

Huge thanks to all the MonoGame contributors.

Congratulations. I'll post this on the website shortly.

Murudai, did you see the Draw a Stickman : Epic post mortem? Would you be interested in writing up something similar about Solar 2, things that went well, went wrong, things you learnt to make your code more cross-platform etc.?

I would hope to post your postmortem in April or May.
