Description

Some HTML websites do not scale properly on iOS, as they do on Android.

Usually in iOS I'm able to force re-sizing and scaling through specific methods, such as;

self.webView.scalesPageToFit = true self.webView.contentMode = UIViewContentMode.ScaleAspectFit

Is there any inclusion of said methods in this plugin?

Research direction
To implement this feature, examine the iOS native side of the flutter webview plugin, likely located in the `ios/` folder. The plugin may use UIWebView or WKWebView. Add a property to enable `scalesPageToFit` for UIWebView or the equivalent for WKWebView (e.g., `scrollView.zoomEnabled`). Ensure the property is exposed to Flutter via method channels. Test with various HTML websites on iOS simulator.
