Description

Hello @marinofaggiana, I'm wondering if it would be possible to add an option to open Nextcloud in a WebView to access apps which are not supported in the iOS app? An example would be the Tasks-App.
Alternativly (additionally?) add an option to open nextcloud directly in safari, but already logged-in?! I've logged in via an app-token in the iOS app, but I can't do this in safari, so I always have to login manually in safari. Do you think that would be possible?

Research direction

Start by locating the iOS app's authentication flow and the entry points for opening Nextcloud content externally. Assess the scope and security implications of adding an in-app WebView or passing an app-token session to Safari. Done means supported apps can be opened as requested without requiring a second manual login.
