Has anyone implemented iOS devices as a consumer of kafka? Is there any client libraries in Obj-C or Swift that could subscribe to Kafka topics?

I don't think consuming Kafka streams directly on a mobile device is the right way to go, unless you are doing some research kind of work. The ideal solution would be to have a REST API (a small web service) that can talk directly to Kafka. You can then poll API endpoints to retrieve messages from Kafka.
For instance, you can write a web service using Python Bottle framework integrated with kafka-python as a solution.
