I had a project planned for iOS[0] that would have been so much better if it could use FUSE, but looks like it can't happen now.
If someone wants to try, having a generic link between FUSE and File Providers in iOS will be a great addition. You could make a generic application that interoperates various FUSE projects against the File Provider API in iOS, so you could mount all sort of crazy stuff in iOS Files application.

- saagarjha 7y agoMacFUSE requires deep hooks into the kernel to work correctly. Do you think the File Provider API is sufficient for this purpose?
- steeleduncan 7y agoIt's API is not very clear, but it does seem to have roughly equivalent functionality to FUSE. The only obvious restriction is that there must be a physical file on disk rather than doing everything in-memory.
- tinus_hn 7y agoThe restriction is that the FileProvider api is only used by desktop applications for user files. You can’t for instance run the application itself from there.
