Get AppGroup container path from path_provider #117685
Description
Use case
When you use an app extension with Flutter iOS apps, you'll likely want to pass information through an AppGroup. When using an AppGroup, files can be saved to a shared container between the extension and the app itself. However, you currently need to use a method channel to get the path to the container (with this API call).
Proposal
It would be great to add this to the path_provider plugin. So you can do something like the following:
Directory myFilePath = await getContainerPath("my_app_group");

For this API, we should use the new style of adding platform-specific APIs in the platform package (so, a new public method in
path_provide_ios/path_provider_macos) instead of the legacy approach of adding APIs that are fundamentally platform-specific to the app-facing package.We probably want to merge
path_provider_iosandpath_provider_macosinto a shared Swift implementation (which is something we've already discussed doing now that 1P iOS plugins can be Swift-based) first so we only have to add it in one place.github-actions commentedon Mar 30, 2023
