Consider perhaps switching stack to something more in demand today, for example backend development in Python or C++ (just to name something). All the other skills (software design, time management, troubleshooting, etc) you have them so you are not starting from zero, but you may need to adjust your expectations about salary because you'll need to learn a new platform and possibly a new process or business domain. But you will move quickly up the ranks because you have the experience. I have done this in the past and was able to renegotiate my salary six months into the new position once I figured out their stack. I think your story is typical of the current situation and will resonate with a good hiring manager. If they have the opportunity open and you look like you can solve problems, then I believe knowing iOS but not Java doesn't matter much, learning a new stack/business domain isn't too difficult.
