Current problem

The current implementation of the Capawesome/Capacitor Photo Editor does not support photo editing on iOS. While the Android version opens a photo editor app, the iOS version lacks this functionality. This feature request aims to address this disparity by integrating QLPreviewController to provide basic markup capabilities.

Preferred solution

Integrate Apple's QLPreviewController for iOS to allow users to view and mark up images. While this solution does not provide a full-fledged photo editor, it enables users to make annotations, drawings, and other markups directly on the images.

Benefits:

• Consistency Across Platforms: Provides a more consistent user experience between Android and iOS.

• User Convenience: Allows users to annotate and mark up images directly within the app, enhancing the app’s utility.

• Leverage Native Capabilities: Utilizes Apple's native QLPreviewController to offer a seamless and integrated experience without the need for third-party libraries.

The editPhoto(...) method is aimed more at classic photo editing. But I can imagine that we add an annotatePhoto(...) method that implements this functionality. Feel free to submit a PR.
