You can't play it on the app but you can play it on the browser version

chess.com/variants is separate from chess.com/play, thus, different teams work on the two and they are hard to combine. In addition, the 4 Player Chess board and its pieces are extremely hard to control, given how big it is and how small phones are.

You can play 4pc/variants on the mobile app if you click on a club match in your messages. The sidebar will become like the browser version.

Not only is variants separate code and developers, the mobile apps are separate code and developers. Along with the screen size issues, my guess is it's unlikely to happen.

It is u who underestimate the hardness of programming......

Here is link for most popular 4 variant physical chess set. https://www.chesshouse.com/collections/3-and-4-player-chess-sets/products/large-4-player-chess-set 

If you have local chess club then money worth. Or simply ask your friends/family to play on the laptop, which will work. If you don't have club then I will suggest you to not spend on physical board. For family, It's rare to convince 3 others unless they are chess savvy if not 2 or 3 game max then board will stay in garage forever. Bitter truth!  

Good luck!

Sure, it’s not hard to get on Safari and then go to Variants. To code the function to access it within the app, transfer all of the image files, recreate the layouts, takes a lot of time for something that (unfortunately) isn’t top priority for chess.com.
