Custom button with your own graphic tick/cross is probably what I'd use for this. That's easy to do and fits pretty well with the ios look and feel. Either have two buttons  and use them as radio buttons (unselect one when you hit the other) or if perhaps try one button which switches states each time you hit it. If that had a graphic with a large tick and small cross for the "yes" state and the opposite for the "no" state it would be quite obvious that you need to hit it to toggle.
