Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. At the moment iOS app extension can only be created in Xcode using Objective C and storyboards. I'd like the option for using JavaScript/Typescript + XML with NativeScript to be researched.

Describe the solution you'd like Meeting memory limitations and API restrictions should be investigated for the different extension types in order to have better understanding of the value of the feature.

Describe alternatives you've considered Using native code.

Additional context None.

Any news on this issue? Do you plan on implementing it any time soon?

It is currently a huge issue for us as we need to implement the "share with" feature in our NS application and the UI is also quite complex and writing that part natively would require us to rewrite quite a lot of code (and having then to maintain it). Our current workaround will be to avoid the use of the ios extensions but for the future it would really be great to be able to integrate in the same way as a native app does. Is this at least in your backlog or roadmap?
