Moved this plugin to the new monorepo at https://github.com/astrocreep/capacitor-plugins
Toggle text interaction in Capacitor based iOS apps.
Background: Apple reintroduced the magnifier lens with iOS 15. There are two
different ways how this function is triggered. Either by longpressing on a text
element or by double tap and hold. You can disable the longpress version in CSS
via -webkit-user-select: none;, but this won't work for the double tap and hold.
As I'm using Capacitor for games, the lens is the last thing I want to pop up
while playing the game 😇
npm install capacitor-textinteraction
npx cap synctoggle(options: TextInteractionOptions) => anyToggle text interaction (selection) on the Capacitor WebView.
WARNING: As long as you disable text interaction, you won't be able to use any input fields. Either disable while text input is active or use native text input overlays.
