Using Airturn BT-105 (two pedals) iReal b's default settings will work:
Pedal 1 (left) - Back (previous song)
Pedal 3 (right) - Next (next song)
If you use a playlist live with the player, you might set it to:
Pedal 1 (left) - Play
Pedal 3 (right) - Next
(The left pedal toggles between play and pause—useful for teaching perhaps, the right pedal is inactive during playback.)
You can also add an additional two pedals for a total of four if needed (see their website for more information.)

--- NEW 2013 ---
Digit and Digit II are bluetooth hand-held controllers similar to their BT-105 foot pedal system.
Digit has six membrane buttons and two ports for plugging in up to four foot pedals if needed.
Digit II is smaller and can easily attach to your key ring. It has five buttons, no pedal ports.

Like the BT-105, they have different operating modes—their default mode 3 works with iReal b. (Other functions include iTunes mode, camera functioning, activating Siri on iOS devices, presentation modes.)

Digit
within iReal b, Settings>Airturn you might find changing the settings to these works better for you:
Pedal 1 - Stop (up)
Pedal 2 - Back (left)
Pedal 3 - Play (down)
Pedal 4 - Next (right)

(Digit II settings might be slightly different)

I've just got an airturn pedal and it's great. Will there be more implementation of other functions and their assignments to the pedal in the future?

Two uses i myself would love to see would be:

1. The ability to assign one of the buttons to do the same function as the "playlist" button that takes you back to the song list when in a chart for example. Sometimes the bands I play with mix it up and change sets on the fly, so having one button to go forward a page/song and one to go back to that list would be great.

2. The ability to assign one button to jump straigt to one of the 4 main functions (songs/composers/styles/playlists) would also be handy.

Glad you are finding it useful. There are no plans at the moment for any changes in the next update.
You would still have to navigate to the new playlist and song, so you would only be saving time on a couple of quick taps.
If you have an ipad, you might find it useful to use it in landscape so at least the current playlist is visible all the time. I prefer this when using a playlist containing all the band's charts (and not in a set order.)

Thanks for your thoughts on this. We will keep it in mind.

Any AirTurn (or Page flip/Cicada) support planned for Android?

You can access irp's AirTurn functions with most any Bluetooth keyboard that will pair with your iOS device.
The left/right/up/down cursor buttons activate page-forward, page-back, and player start/stop.

I would imagine a page turning functionality for the Apple Watch. That would be cool.

Airturn’s utility app can be used for checking and updating the firmware of PED (not older devices).
Our original PED had v1.1.0 and we have updated it to the current v1.3.0, which seems to have fixed a bug we encountered while testing recently.

We have a small update from them which will be included in the next minor update ...

The update for Airturn (in iReal Pro v8.0.2) provides compatibility with iOS11. The window shows images of their various devices; it seems you can tap on your device and it selects the correct connection method. (Remember to turn on bluetooth and pair your Airturn device first).
(From our initial tests, if your device was already connected and working with iReal Pro before this update, it will (should!) continue to work without having to do anything, although we cannot be sure this will be true for all cases.)
