Overview
The cupertino_back_gesture package allows developers to customize the width of the iOS-style back swipe gesture area in Flutter applications. This is particularly useful for fine-tuning the interactive edge for navigation, ensuring a more intuitive user experience on iOS platforms. The package extends Flutter's default CupertinoPageRoute behavior without requiring deep platform-specific modifications. It supports all major platforms including Android, iOS, Web, macOS, Windows, and Linux, making it versatile for cross-platform apps that prioritize consistent iOS navigation patterns.
