Scripted Dropdowns not working on Acrobat app

I've created a fillable form with a few of the dropdowns running off a custom keystroke script. See attached. The dropdowns in question are under the power and strength categories. The scripts work in Acrobat on my computer but don't work when the PDF is opening in the app on an iPad or iPhone. Any suggestions for why? I've attached the PDF as well as a video of what's happening in the app.

Mobile device PDF viewers have limited JavaScript capabilities.  PDF Expert by Readdle for iPad and iPhone supports the most scripts.

The form/scripting worked and then I added in the equipment dropdowns, the check boxes, and a few more options to the scripted dropdowns. Does this mean it's just too much information for the app to process?
