Fun fact KDE Connect is also available on iOS, so you can connect your android phone with an ipad or iphone with a window. The iOS version is still in beta though and a lot of features are still limited. https://github.com/KDE/kdeconnect-ios

I don't know anything, but a search yields this KDEConnect repo for iOS https://github.com/KDE/kdeconnect-ios

There is a beta version of KDE Connect on iOS you can get through TestFlight. It’s not fully featured due to the lack of background processing which means no notification sync and the app must be open to use it, but everything else should be working. I know file transfer and virtual touchpad work. https://github.com/KDE/kdeconnect-ios

KDE Connect for IOS is in public testing that you can try it. https://github.com/KDE/kdeconnect-ios

I mean.... yeah! Thats exactly what you should be doing. Upgrading your OS when not all your essential software is supported is bad practice to begin with and most non-rolling Distro support previous version for a bit (Fedora 38 will be supported for 6 months after the release of 39 for example). The extension manager app has a great "upgrade assistant" that lets you easily see which of your extension was already ported. Most extensions were already ported and the rest will probably follow shortly after Gnome 45 hits major distros. GSconnect already merged a PR so their release will be soon.

https://github.com/GSConnect/gnome-shell-extension-gsconnect/releases/tag/v55 does not mention security fixes. Do you have more information?

I'm using GSConnect on Ubuntu. I have first disabled "Clipboard Sync". There are a number of Actions for which keyboard shortcuts can be defined for a device [1]. One of them is Clipboard Push. I assigned Shift+Ctrl+Alt+V to that, so whenever I execute that contrived key combination, the clipboard is synced to my mobile. I suppose KDE Connect has a similar feature.
