Why does iOS ReplyPilot Keyboard need a Share Extension?
iOS ReplyPilot Keyboard likely needs a Share Extension because the keyboard and context-capture jobs are different. The keyboard can help insert or edit selected reply text, while a Share Extension can receive source post context from a mobile social page or app handoff. Pairing them keeps the workflow clearer than forcing one surface to do everything.

Design after Android learning
Let mobile web and Android keyboard validation clarify draft quality, permission copy, and fallback needs first.
FAQ
Follow-up questions
Can an iOS keyboard alone capture all context?
It should not be framed that way. A Share Extension is the cleaner intentional handoff for source context.
Does the Share Extension post replies?
No. It should pass context or draft data through the user-approved workflow; final posting stays manual.
Should iOS come before Android?
Usually no. Android is the cleaner first native keyboard test after mobile web validation.
