I've seen a few posts similar to this but they were quite old and probably have outdated information, so I'd like to ask again - what is the situation with D on the major mobile platforms?

Not really concerned with C#/Obj-C/Java interop, more just if you can compile a hello world using Phobos on it.

Thanks,
Mitchell

Don't think anyone cares about WP8 but this was recently answered for the others:

Hi Mitchell -

For iOS, if you are willing to build the LLVM + LDC compiler chain, then please try:

https://github.com/smolt/ldc-iphone-dev

The readme lists the current state of things.  You can build and run phobos hello world, and much more.  I am trying to decide weather to cleanup and post more complicated app examples or push ios branch changes into ldc and D-Programming-Language git repos.  Lately I've been doing the later.

That looks awesome. I really hope iOS and Android support make it into LDC, that would make picking the language for my next cross platform app very easy indeed :)

Indeed. For some of my recent indie dabblings, Unreal Engine 4 has recently started tempting me to try it out as a possible alternative to Unity3D (not that Unity is at all bad). The user-facing side is already C++, so if I could just bridge over to D without giving up iOS/Android, that could go a long way toward pulling me over.

We had a discussion about it earlier this month

http://forum.dlang.org/thread/qnxxwaezsrlhqlpwutby@forum.dlang.org

I don't know much about LLVM specifics but if you know about LLVM/LDC internals, we can collaborate on the Android side.
