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
  1. Start a new post using the WPiOS app.
  2. Add a title and content.
  3. Tap the ellipsis menu and change the publish date to something in the future.
  4. Tap "Schedule."
  5. Tap the ellipsis menu and tap "Preview."
  6. Tap the share icon at top right.
  7. 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:

Research direction

Reproduce the scheduled-post preview and share flow in the WPiOS app using the listed steps, then inspect the preview and sharing entry points involved. Done means a scheduled post exposes an easy way to copy its final post URL, matching the web interface behavior.
