Description
Expected behavior
I expected to be able to get the permalink for a scheduled post.
Actual behavior
I can find the preview URL such as /?p=1234 in the preview after tapping the share icon, but I cannot find a way to easily copy the final post URL for a scheduled post.
Steps to reproduce the behavior
- Start a new post using the WPiOS app.
- Add a title and content.
- Tap the ellipsis menu and change the publish date to something in the future.
- Tap "Schedule."
- Tap the ellipsis menu and tap "Preview."
- Tap the share icon at top right.
- Look around and try to find a way to copy the post URL.
Result: I can find the preview version of the URL such as /?p=1234 but not the full post URL.
In contrast, I can easily copy a full post URL for a scheduled post from the web interface:

Tested with Chrome 59.0.3071.115 on Mac OS X 10.12.6.
Tested on iPhone 6S, iOS 10.3.3, WPiOS 8.2.0.20170802.
