Research direction

The request points to ios/Capacitor/Capacitor/Plugins/Storage.swift; start at the linked UserDefaults initialization and trace how the Storage plugin is configured. Determine how a suite name should enter initialization, then add or update the relevant iOS coverage so shared host and extension data can be stored and retrieved with that suite.

Feature Request

Describe the Feature Request

While developing extensions in iOS, you may find a need to share application or user data between the host app and the extension.

To do so, we need to pass a "suite name" at the initialization of the userDefaults

init?(suiteName suitename: String?)

Platform Support Requested

  • Android
  • iOS
  • Electron
  • Web

Describe Preferred Solution

Possibility to initialize the store with a suite name.

Describe Alternatives

An old cordova plugin is doing the job : https://github.com/apla/me.apla.cordova.app-preferences
