Description

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
At the moment iOS app extension can only be created in Xcode using Objective C and storyboards. I'd like the option for using JavaScript/Typescript + XML with NativeScript to be researched.

Describe the solution you'd like
Meeting memory limitations and API restrictions should be investigated for the different extension types in order to have better understanding of the value of the feature.

Describe alternatives you've considered
Using native code.

Additional context
None.

Research direction

Done means documenting whether JavaScript/TypeScript and XML support is viable and what implementation scope would be required.
