Does iOS safari support playing cross domain audio?

To answer your titled question: yes mobile Safari does allow to play cross domain HTML5 audio (just tested it again on my iOS7 iPad). Though there has been report it is not working well with CORS attribute.

You could try to wildcard CORS on CloudFront. Maybe this can help you. Are you able to plug your iOS device on a Mac to use Safari debug console for iOS? If so there could be error showing up in the logs.
