Playing Widevine DRM on iOS?

I'm hoping to find something similar to ExoPlayer for iOS.

The goal is to play/stream Widevine DRM protected videos on iOS. I have all I need server side, but I can't find a suitable player.

Does anyone have suggestions for me about open source, free, paid players?

Does Widevine work on iOS?

Apple iOS does not natively support Dynamic Adaptive Streaming over HTTP (DASH) orCommon Encryption (CENC). For this reason, Widevine DRM has created an SDK for iOS developers who want to stream video using DASH with CENC.

Does Apple support Widevine?

Popular DRM services include Widevine, which is used on the web and Android, and Fairplay, which is used on Apple devices and Safari.

Does Safari support Widevine?

Widevine is, not surprisingly, used extensively within Google's desktop browsers and mobile devices. Widevine is supported for use on many of the most popular HTML5 browsers, including Chrome (v35+), Firefox (v47+) and Opera (v35+). The DRM does not support playback on Internet Explorer 11, Microsoft Edge or Safari.

Google provides Widevine CDM for iOS. It is not a whole player, you will need to integrate it to a player of your choice. It is also not directly available, you will have to sign license agreement with Google (NDA).
