Thanks @EIDiabolo - seems to be working for us now as well.

Looks like iOS caught up to Android and now both are on version 1.34.32

Version history in App Store says iOS version was updated 2 months ago. Thanks for the heads up @EA_Arrenai @EA_Blueberry :-/

Given EA doesn't seem worried about keeping the app versions synced (and doesn't care about PvZH crossplay generally), I recommend disabling app updates on your devices to ensure the versions remain compatible.

On Android:
1) Go to the PvZH app on the Play Store
2) Tap the menu button (three dots at top right)
3) Ensure 'Enable auto update' is NOT ticked

On iOS:
1) Open Settings
2) Tap 'iTunes & App Store'
3) Under 'Automatic Downloads', ensure 'Updates' is NOT ticked.

NB: Presume this will keep ALL apps from updating automatically. Of course, you can manually update from the Updates section on the App Store but that's potentially pretty painful depending on how many apps you have and how frequently they update.

That said, if there isn't an outstanding PvZH update (which seem to be becoming less and less frequent anyway) you can safely just use the 'Update All' button and make the process a lot easier.

If anyone knows of a way to prevent an individual app from auto-updating on iOS please let us know.

Tagging others from this thread so everyone knows PvZH crossplay is back.
