I don't think people can develop a browser engine that fast, and apple is still scrambling to figure out the least amount of compliance to avoid legal trouble.
So I doubt they are using a different engine at this moment.
You can doubt all you want, but devs have had functioning alternative engines in dev environments for ages. Apple just would not allow them.
What do you mean "develop" they already have the engine on desktop and on Android
I think porting it to iOS still probably takes time, but I am happy to be proven wrong if you have source stating that brave is not using webkit on iOS.
The porting has probably already been done, as sideloading apps, while difficult, was still possible. It'd make sense to have something waiting in the wings, so to speak. So it's doubtful iOS development has just started.
You are right, blink is ported, but it seems like gecko is not there yet.
But brave still uses webkit as of now, according to wikipedia: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brave_(web_browser)
