One thought: On OS X you could probably also register a URL scheme of your own (or override an existing URL scheme) by hooking into the URL loading system. Not sure whether that API is available on iOS, but might be worth looking into as a hook-in point for a manual DNS resolution: Check if the URL is IPv4 or IPv6 raw IP, if not, resolve, then redirect to the raw URL. Also, I haven't looked into what has actually changed, but there have been lots of WebKit changes for iOS 8, so if you can require that, you might have additional API to solve this problem with.
