iOS Platform Support

iOS-specific implementation details for Toss.

Background Limitations

iOS has strict limitations on background clipboard access. The app cannot monitor clipboard changes when in the background. However, there are several workarounds:

1. App Extensions - Share extensions can access clipboard
2. Shortcuts Integration - Siri Shortcuts can trigger sync
3. Widgets - Home screen widgets can trigger sync
4. Foreground Optimization - Optimize sync when app is active

Implementation Status

Basic Structure: Created ios_background_service.dart with: - Shortcut action registration - Widget update methods - Foreground sync optimization - App extension setup structure

Files: - flutter_app/lib/src/core/services/ios_background_service.dart - flutter_app/ios/Runner/Info.plist (updated with background modes)

Required Native Code

1. App Extension

Create Share Extension target in Xcode: - Share extension target - Clipboard access from extension - Communication with main app

2. Shortcuts Integration

In ios/Runner/AppDelegate.swift: - Handle UIApplicationShortcutItem - Register shortcut actions - Trigger sync on shortcut invocation

3. Widget

Create widget extension: - Home screen widget target - Quick sync button - Status display

Next Steps

1. Create Share Extension target in Xcode
2. Implement shortcut handlers in AppDelegate
3. Create widget extension
4. Test on iOS device
