Thank you for sending me the invitation. I now have Minstrel up and running on my iPhone 15 with the latest official iOS.

First impressions:
On launching the app I was requested to allow Minstrel access to local network devices which I did.
Having passed the introduction screens it said that it did not have persisson to access local network devices. So I checked in the settings. It DID have permission. After a while it found one of my UPnP servers (Multi-media streaming add-on on my QNAP NAS), but not the other one (MinimServer on the same QNAP NAS).

Also it is not seeing my WiiM Ultra streamer. All I get for "Play on" is This Device.

A while later it did find MinimServer and the presentation is as expected and working fine.
But still it doesn't see my streamer which is a major issue for me as this is my main use case.

The player screen does not provide a volume slider, at least not when playing on the iPhone itself. I have to use the side buttons on the phone. This ok as long as I'm playing on the phone. But if (when) it will eventually see my streamer, I would definitely want a volume slider.
