Interview with recruiter.
Take-home technical test.
Interview with iOS lead.
Take-home project.
Final round would have been onsite.
The interview with the lead engineer was more behavioral than technical, but the test was very technical. The recruiter sent a link to the project with instructions that said not to spend more than 4.5-5 hours on it. They asked for production-quality code but didn't provide any design guidelines. This meant you had to handle the technical and UI design, then implement and test it in 5 hours, which is pretty ridiculous. I probably spent twice that amount of time on it and returned it the next day.
Then, I never heard anything: no feedback, no rejection. Nothing.
I realize this is the norm now; it's still rude and unprofessional nonetheless.
