Custom tile (online or cached) map sources?

[intelfx]

In the Android counterpart app, there is support for providing custom data sources for raster (tiled) maps, as well as providing pre-cached tilesets for such maps. However, in the iOS app only certain predefined tile map sources are apparently available.

Is this feature not (yet?) supported in the iOS app, or is it supported but hidden?

This feature is supported by core engine though on IOS it is not clear if you have access to the file system yourself. If you don't than unfortunately it is limited to what we have in predefined list.

Well, I do (my device is jailbroken). Moreover, there is the per-app user data location accessible via iTunes (w/o jailbreak), which now contains the GPX folder and a Favorites.gpx file. Where do I need to make changes?

For now we use limited set https://github.com/osmandapp/OsmAnd-resources/blob/master/misc/default.online_tile_sources.xml though we could extend it to https://github.com/osmandapp/OsmAnd-misc/blob/master/site/tile_sources.xml.

@intelfx do you mean the Android app supports this by editing XML or in the GUI? If in the GUI, I think not anymore.

The lack of Trail Blazes or symbols on any of the cached map sources is, IMO, the biggest issue with OsmAnd for hikers

All of this functionality was added. The latest commits introduced the ability to edit online tile sources.
