Hi,

Does anyone know of any way that you can import a list of text replacements into iOS; for use via the 'keyboard text replacement' feature? I have a need to do this for a client but can see no programmatic way to achieve the result in our app.

The use-case is that they're often typing common phrases for their job and want these to be easily available to all users. A legacy solution was developed, but it's a custom UI element and a hard-coded list, so I'd rather use the OS options if possible -- provided I'm able to give the list to all users, somehow.

EDIT: I should add, I've looked at an iOS profile for roll-out, but this seems not to cover this setting.
