as far as I know `BIBINPUTS` need to be a list of directories. Please try to use the following as value for `BIBINPUTS`:

    $HOME/Library/Mobile Documents/M6HJR9W95L~com~textasticapp~textastic/Documents:.

Here `.` specifies the current directory. `:` is used to separate each directory entry. Therefore the above value means that

    $HOME/Library/Mobile Documents/M6HJR9W95L~com~textasticapp~textastic/Documents

and 

    . 

should be searched for bibliography files.

You need to specify the name of your `.bib` file in your document via the command

    \bibliography{refs}{}

or via 

    \addbibresource{refs.bib}

if you use biber.

If that does not help, then please just ask again. It would also be super helpful if you could provide a minimal example together with steps to reproduce the problem.

Kind regards,
