init?(suiteName suitename: String?)

Platform Support Requested

• Android
• iOS
• Electron
• Web

I just started looking into created an iOS widget to show some data on the home screen from within my ioinic capacitor app. I'm going to need a way of defining a suiteName so that when I store some data in the app, the widget extension can read the data and display it. Is there any plan to work on this now that iOS 14 beta is out?

Let's go fellas! iOS 14 is here. No time to delay.
