Description

Typically the engineering here is lower than say a Windows module because the iOS code can be leveraged. The higher cost is knowing what to do, and going through the PR process. We should document that to help external contributors to help out here.

Of note we need this for Windows too... I know there was some discussion/issue on that, but I couldn't find it.
