Description

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
iOS app can use app groups for sharing data between the main app and extensions like the share extension. If an app uses an app group, all the data shared via that app group is stored in a separate folder (/private/var/mobile/Containers/Shared/AppGroup/SomeOtherGUIDNotTheAppGuid)

When I run env for an iOS app it does not list app group directories used by the app.

Describe the solution you'd like
The solution would be to detect app group directories and list them when using env.

Describe alternatives you've considered
An alternative is using tools like cda than list the app group directories.

Research direction

The issue identifies the iOS env command but no files or tests. Start by locating that command and the existing container-path discovery, then determine how app-group directories are exposed. Done means env lists the shared app-group directory for an app configured with one.
