Starting state
What are users migrating from?
Android keyboard validation has taught the team about selected insertion, permission copy, shared entitlement, and native composer friction.
Migration path
Android keyboard to iOS keyboard + Share Extension migration
An Android keyboard to iOS keyboard plus Share Extension migration should transfer the selected-insertion lessons from Android, but not copy Android directly. iOS should pair Share Extension context handoff with keyboard insertion or copy fallback, because iPhone users need both source-post context and selected draft placement while final posting remains manual.

Target state
What should the migration produce?
iOS users get a paired native path: Share Extension or share flow for source context, keyboard or copy fallback for selected draft placement, and mobile web fallback for unsupported cases.
Migration steps
How should the workflow move?
Step 1
Extract Android lessons
Keep selected insertion, permission clarity, shared entitlement, and manual final posting as reusable principles.
Step 2
Do not clone Android blindly
Treat iOS context handoff as a separate problem that may need Share Extension support.
Step 3
Validate iPhone demand
Use mobile web and user requests to prove iOS-native need before App Store work.
Step 4
Design paired surfaces
Use Share Extension for visible source context and keyboard or copy fallback for selected draft placement.
Step 5
Keep roadmap status honest
State whether iOS native surfaces are planned, beta, or shipped based on visible current evidence.
Risk controls
What can go wrong, and how should it be controlled?
Keyboard-only blind spot
An iOS keyboard alone may not know the source post.
Pair context handoff with Share Extension or copy fallback.
Share-only blind spot
A Share Extension alone may not place selected text into the composer.
Keep keyboard insertion or selected copy fallback available.
App Store overclaim
Public pages can imply current availability too early.
Do not imply current App Store availability unless verified.
Success criteria
How do we know the migration worked?
iOS demand is real
iPhone users repeatedly use mobile web and ask for native context or insertion support.
Context handoff works
The iOS share path can move enough visible source context to generate useful drafts.
Placement path works
Users can place selected draft text through keyboard insertion or copy fallback.
Manual approval holds
The final public action stays under user control in every iOS path.
Fallback plan
What should happen if the migration is not ready?
If Share Extension is limited
Use mobile web context input and copy fallback while scope is refined.
If keyboard setup is confusing
Keep copy fallback and improve permission education before expanding.
If iOS demand is weak
Keep Android and mobile web as the primary mobile paths until stronger evidence appears.

FAQ
Migration questions
How do Android keyboard lessons migrate to iOS?
Keep selected insertion and permission clarity, but add Share Extension or copy fallback for iOS source context and placement limits.
Why not clone the Android keyboard on iOS?
iOS has different context handoff and permission constraints, so a paired keyboard plus Share Extension path is safer.
Is the iOS native path available now?
This migration page is roadmap planning and should not be treated as current App Store availability.
