The specified scrypt parameters require at least +/- 256 MiB of memory (See the excellent article of https://blog.filippo.io/the-scrypt-parameters/ @FiloSottile) , probably more due to overhead in the implementation and garbage-collection.

The iOS device you are using doesn't have this available and runs out of memory.

runtime: out of memory: cannot allocate 268435456-byte block (271581184 in use)
fatal error: out of memory

Why is this failing for iOS? I've tried it in an Android device with 1gb memory and it ran without errors. I tested with an iPhone 7 with 2gb ram and it fails every time.
