It looks like the Flutter frontend is already halfway iPad enabled:

iPad is already partly enabled in the Info.plist: github.com/AppFlowy-IO/AppFlowy@c05f19edd2/frontend/appflowy_flutter/ios/Runner/Info.plist (L63)
Then again it is disabled a few lines further up: (github.com/AppFlowy-IO/AppFlowy@c05f19edd2/frontend/appflowy_flutter/ios/Runner/Info.plist (L43)) by setting „ LSRequiresIPhoneOS“ to „true“

Why is that? Can I help or can you simply set the latter key to false to enable at least rudimentary iPad support?

We'd like to make sure our iPad version deliver a great experience before releasing.
Simply turning on this flag may get us low ratings from App Store users.

Annie,

thanks for your reply. This makes sense. I understand that mostly getting the layout in the views is something that needs to be adjusted for the iPad/other tablets - is this correct?

If so, would this be something where your team could use help? On the surface this looks like something new developers (who have CSS experience) can provide a ton of value by optimizing the mobile view for wider screens. Do you agree?

If so, maybe mark it as a job where „newbies“ (to the project) can help; I can even imagine diving in myself (but my CSS-fu is somewhat rusty). I expect that the view already looks decent, as I assume that the view in the average browser is not far from the view of the average iPad.
