Add support for shared views to the mobile app

Need to add support inside mobile app for shared view. Currently shared views are opened in browser on mobile devices. Just to be more clear, on mobile devices that have SmartSuite installed on the device a shared view will open the smartsuite app and not open the shared view. That makes sharing a view that is opened on that device pointless as the person who you shared the view with has no idea what the view was suppose to open and may not even have permission to open the particular view even if they knew what view it was.

Hiya Gary Ford, thanks for sharing with us! Following up on this:
- Can you provide more details on how you envision the shared views functioning within the mobile app?
- Are there specific features or functionalities from the browser version of shared views that you would like to see implemented in the mobile app?
- Could you clarify the permissions issue you mentioned? Are there specific permissions that are not being correctly applied when a view is shared?

Jon Darbyshire on the mobile devices that have smartsuite installed, opening a shared view needs to actually open the shared view instead of just opening the smartsuite app. My assumption is that if I embed a link to a view on my website that has the Share View button "ON" then no permission settings in smartsuite will prevent anyone from opening that view. I also assume that a shared link that i send to someone that has the Share View button "ON" then again no permission settings in smartsuite will prevent anyone from opening that view. If this is the case then with the current problem of someone opening a shared view on their mobile device that has smartsuite installed and the shared link only opens the smartsuite app - then even if they knew what view i was trying to send them, they may not have permission via the app to open the view, that anyone without the smartsuite app installed on their mobile device could open. The point here is that a view shared with the Share View button set to ON should open that view on any device reguardless if smartsuite is installed or not on the mobile device.
