Use this checklist before building paired iPhone surfaces or publishing iOS roadmap content.
Launch checklist
iOS keyboard + Share Extension checklist
An iOS keyboard plus Share Extension checklist should separate two jobs: Share Extension for source-post context handoff and keyboard for selected draft insertion. It should follow mobile web validation, keep copy fallback, avoid sensitive shared storage, explain roadmap status clearly, and preserve user editing plus manual final posting.

What launch decision does this checklist control?
Checklist
Requirements before the path is ready
Validate iOS demand
Avoid iOS native complexity before iPhone users prove the mobile workflow matters.
iOS mobile web usage is visible
iPhone sessions generate and copy drafts from the web flow.
Context friction is named
Users struggle to move the source post into the generator.
Insertion friction is named
Users struggle to return selected draft text to the composer.
Native scope is paired
The plan treats Share Extension and keyboard as complements, not substitutes.
Context and storage
Keep shared iOS data limited, understandable, and safe across the paired native surfaces.
Share Extension previews context
Users can see what context is being sent into TypeToSell.
Keyboard inserts selected text
The keyboard path inserts a chosen draft, not an unpublished hidden action.
Copy fallback stays available
Users can still copy manually when native handoff is limited.
Sensitive storage is avoided
Do not store raw social posts, private messages, generated replies, or billing data in shared local storage.
Manual workflow
Keep iOS native surfaces aligned with TypeToSell's no-auto-posting promise.
Draft only
The surface drafts, copies, or inserts selected text; it does not press Reply, Post, Comment, or Publish.
User choice
The user chooses one draft before text is copied or inserted.
Edit path
The user can edit the draft before final posting.
No social password
The workflow does not require X, Reddit, Facebook, or other social account passwords for core drafting.
Launch gates
What must be true before moving forward?
Gate 1
Start iOS discovery
iOS mobile web usage and support requests show native demand.
Gate 2
Build Share Extension
Context handoff is the strongest iPhone friction.
Gate 3
Build keyboard
Composer insertion is the next strongest friction after context is solved.
Common mistakes
What should fail the checklist?
Keyboard-only thinking
A keyboard can insert text but may not capture source-post context.
Share-only thinking
A Share Extension can pass context but may not solve composer insertion.
Native availability overclaim
Do not imply App Store availability without visible shipped proof.

FAQ
Checklist questions
Why does iOS need both keyboard and Share Extension?
The Share Extension helps capture context, while the keyboard helps insert selected draft text into the composer.
Should iOS native work come before mobile web?
Usually no. Mobile web should validate iPhone demand first unless evidence strongly says otherwise.
Can iOS native workflows auto-post?
No. The final social post should stay manual after the user reviews and edits the selected draft.
