Description

It would be nice if we could add support for the Classic Block in our app. I understand that it's not an easy one to implement, but it seems like users who are still using the Classic Editor can't use the app to edit their pages correctly.

Requested in 5762647-zd-woothemes

Tested on [iPhone 14 Pro Max], iOS [16.1.2], WPiOS [21.2]

Research direction

The issue names WordPress for iOS and the Classic Block but no source files, tests, or entry point. Start by locating the app’s existing block and editor handling, then determine what correct editing of Classic Editor pages requires on iOS. Done means users can edit those pages correctly in the app.
