LGPL v2.0/v2.1 do not have the "tivoization" clause, so it should be safe to use in iOS if you are following the rest of the license provisions.

LGPL v3 does, so it is likely not safe or legal to use that software in iOS or other drm scenarios.

You can find a lot of debate about this, I think mostly because people assume the two versions to be the same and do not specify which they are wanting to use.

Again I have no legal background and I recommend getting real legal advice as the issue is quite complex.
