The way the Expand command is often grayed out is a weird quirk of the iPad version of Illustrator. Usually if I want to expand an outline stroke or art brush effect on a path I have to use the Create Stroke Outline command also in the Object menu. Then I have to ungroup the original source path and the outlined stroke/brush path to get rid of the source path (if I want to delete it).
