Describe the solution you'd like?

I want Warp to provide a terminal client for iOS and iPadOS (the XNU-based Darwin derivatives).

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

Current shells lack intelligent auto-completion and account synchronisation.

Additional context

The most difficult part of implementing this would be locating a suitable basis, so that the Warp development team need not reinvent the wheel for the platform (instead, merely adding what makes Warp unique atop a stable base). To that end, holzschu/a-shell and blinksh/blink appear usable.

Operating system (OS)

macOS

@dannyneira, glad to see such granularity, although need they be? They utilise the same OS, merely with different brand names.

@RokeJulianLockhart As far as I'm aware, back in 2019 iPadOS and iOS (for iPhones) diverged. This allowed Apple to include iPad-specific features in the former. We'll continue to track seperately due to this differnce, but if anything changes we'll consolidate and track them together.

[RokeJulianLockhart]

@dannyneira, we're unable to see whether the codebase was forked, but since 90% of the platform APIs are standardised across them (and the rest can just be disabled with configuration files), I'd presume so. Unless you've reason to believe that any client would be architecturally distinct on each, I would track it in one.

[dannyneira]

I prefer to keep it separate for now since they are different with regard to OS and form factor and would require different design and architecture considerations, etc. Again if anything changes on this front we'll consolidate.
