It's not just us. A number of practitioners here in Canada have reported similar behaviour.
We have deleted old versions and reinstalled Sonant 1.2.3 many times. The hardware is a new MacBook Air, 2020 model. It was recently upgraded from an old MacBook pro running High Sierra where Sonant worked fine.
Not only does Sonant not respond to push-to-talk (the lips don't turn red) but does not allow configuration of the push to talk key (which defaults to command). It ignores all key presses, leading me to believe it is not properly sensing the keyboard.
Curiously, the lips will turn red when using volume or SNR sensing, rather than push-to-talk, again telling me there is something wrong with your keyboard interface.

No, it is not possible to run Sonant on iOS or Android. Sonant is specifically designed for Windows and may not be compatible with other operating systems.
Sonant is an application which connects to voice servers to establish conferences. The version with the Blue icon is for the newer Sonant releases and should be used. Typically, to connect to a voice conferences, simply bring up the connect menu or simply add a server.

Once you are connected, press CTRL until you see some red lips next to your name and speak into the microphone.
It seems that the user's computer is refusing to download the program "Sonant" due to a security risk.
