I am not sure that install mongodb on iphone is good idea even if it possible. It is not so light weight database. And it will lead to various problems, like repair database after failover, user can stop database manually. I suggest to use sqlite database instead. It will be much simpler.

Mongodb good fit for backend of mobile app, but not supposed to be used on mobile devices.

I know that CoutchDB can be used in iphone, so why mongoDB can't be embedded in iphone? – LightNight Dec 23 '11 at 15:49
CouchDB is not MongoDB, that's why. If you want to use CouchDB, go ahead: https://github.com/couchbaselabs/iOS-Couchbase – Akku Dec 13 '12 at 15:59

From this SO answer Is it possible to use MongoDB as an embedded database? it seems that you cannot embed MongoDB - even though a lot of people are asking for that feature. So no matter how much you like it you will have to look for a different solution.
