[Request]: iPad Support

Feature Request Checklist

• I have searched the existing issues to avoid duplicates

What feature would you like to request?

It seems you are fairly early on your plug-in journey, so this may already be a roadmap item. I’d like to be able to sync the highlights from my iPad. I do most of my Obsidian work on it instead of my Mac. Are there technical hurdles that prevent this, or have you just not had a chance to tackle it yet?

Hi @elliottecton , thanks for the request, I was waiting for it sooner or later.

Initially, the idea was to make the plugin work on Mac simply because there is direct access to the database files. iPads and iPhones don't have that access, at least, explicitly. However, recently, I stumbled upon an approach that seems to work around this. So, there may be a chance to add support for both types of devices. And since I also spend roughly 30% of my time with Obsidian using my iPad, I will try to find a way to make this synchronization work.

Is there anyway I can help facilitate this? I am quite proficient with javascript/typescript and this feature would be a godsend for me. May I ask what your workaround is?

@ishan-marikar Sure you can, if you know how to implement this feature, let's discuss, I appreciate your help and ideas.
Currently, I'm immersed in certain activities that take the most of my spare time, so the plugin development is kinda unstable.
Atm, I haven't yet researched a way to access books db from either iPad or iPhone.
