Hi Richard and All, When the feedback began to come in regarding the native braille app in iOS8, I immediately sent the developer of MBraille an email requesting to make MBraille a third party app on the phone. I'll paste part of a response I got into this post.
And no, I have not been contacted by Apple in anyway with regards to Braille on iOS. hi"I'm not going to be buying iPhone 6 either any time soon, those are too expensive. Perhaps I can make the necessary changes using the emulator, we'll see. Many have also wished for MBraille as a third party keyboard. This is still under investigation." I'm not the best when it comes to copying text out of a email or message, so please excuse the first few lines in the quotes, but you see that he is working on it.
