Description

A user reported that the Donations block is missing from their Jetpack iOS app. After testing, I found that this issue occurs on both the Jetpack and WordPress iOS apps, with not just the Donations block missing, but several others as well.

Adding these missing blocks will make mobile editing easier and more consistent across all platforms, leading to a better overall experience for users.

Research direction

Start with the block picker and slash-command/search entry points in the WordPress and Jetpack iOS apps, using the Donations example and the complete missing-block list in this issue. Determine how block availability is defined for both apps and confirm the intended scope before changing anything; done means the agreed missing blocks can be found and added consistently.
