iPad Support #6318

Open O4FDev opened 1 week ago

Describe the Feature

Noticed a few folks on app complaining about the iPad version. I played around with literally just enabling support for it in XCode and it played pretty nicely! No bugs or design issues popped out to me

Maybe it's time to hit the button? Even if the team doesn't want to officially support it - it would make for a much better experience & prs can just be backlogged for future reference once the market for an iPad version is big enough.

(I'm also somewhat just making this issue so it's easily searchable. I couldn't find any thread about it myself doing a simple search of iPad so hopefully this serves to triage any of the teams concerns and other folks can notice before posting their own 😄)

This would already be a huge improvement over getting the iPhone4 sized view (logical pixels) you get now on an iPad when opening the current iOS app on it. Please just push forward on at least this. You can rework the view later to have side rails and expand to side menu in landscape.

Although the Web version is already responsive from bottom bar, to rail to side menu. I don't quite get why it is not doable on on iPad and Android tablet versions too? Mind you have not tried n Android tablet. As a Flutter dev I would not even consider releasing an app at that did not support all media sizes, for both iOS and Android, depending on type of app I would probably have thrown in macOS and Windows builds too, using same responsive layout logic, and sure the Web build too. The Bluesky web build is fine though, no issues with it, as long as we don't discuss specific feature gaps to X/Twitter of course.

For now, I cry a bit internally every day I try to open Bluesky on my iPad. At home, when not coding and at the keyboard, I am on an iPad, on the road on the phone, and sure at keyboard on the Web version. It's just how I roll. So when at home chilling I cannot use Bluesky, so please, can you give us something usable at least, it would be a start! 😄 🦋 💙
