the list of fully supported activities in official Mobile App can be seen in the source code here https://github.com/moodlehq/moodleapp/tree/main/src/addons/mod
Judging from the old book code it would not be too difficult to add support for the Interactive book, but then you would have to persuade Moodle HQ to include it in their official App or keep compiling your own app.
A workaround could be to add just a basic limited activity support as described in https://moodledev.io/general/app/development/plugins-development-guide - this would not require changes in the App itself, but the visuals/functionality might be limited. The other option would be to just offer a link to download the book from Mobile app for offline reading.
In any case adding of mobile app support would require funding, I'll update the description when paid support and new feature funding options are available early next year.
Thanks for trying the new Interactive book!
