flutter's WillPopScope disables IOS back gestures, How to enable them?

I am creating an app where I have complete manual control over every back button press.

I basically have widgets/views changing in my app instead of the Navigator pushing and popping new screens.

I created a function where I am able to display views 1,2 and 3. and go back using the back button on android. however in case of iOS the back gesture does not work and I am unable to change views.

any workaround? Help would be appreciated

  Future<bool> goBackward(){
    if(_isButtonPressed) {
      if(currentView == 0)
        {
          return Future<bool>.value(true);
        }
      else if(currentView == 1)
        {
          currentView = 0;
          notifyListeners();
          return Future<bool>.value(false);
        }
      else
        {
          currentView = 2;
          notifyListeners();
          return Future<bool>.value(false);
        }
    }
  }

above is minimal version of code. when I return true that means I'm ready to Pop screen on back press

After searching on the web and trying numerous packages like cupertino_will_pop_scope and back_button_interceptor I found that none of them worked for my use case.

cupertino_will_pop_scope was a miss and hit thing so sometimes it worked and sometimes it didnt.

here is a solution for anyone who hasn't found an answer to this yet.

as I mentioned before the WillPopScope works perfectly on android so no need to change functionality over there.

for IOS however I used Gesture Detector to detect a swipe from left gesture and do my actions accordingly.

    if(!Platform.isIOS)
      {
        //When OS is Android return the view as is 
        return MyView;
      }
      else{
       //When OS is iOS return the view as is wrapped with GestreDetector

        return GestureDetector(
          onHorizontalDragUpdate: (details) {
            //set the sensitivity for your ios gesture anywhere between 10-50 is good

            int sensitivity = Integers().iosSwipeSensitivity;

            if (details.delta.dx > sensitivity) {
              //SWIPE FROM RIGHT DETECTION
              goBackward();
            }
          },
          child: MyView;
        );
      }
