posthog-ios Session replay for macOS

Description

We use a bunch of APIs that are available only on iOS eg https://github.com/PostHog/posthog-ios/blob/0e74908ca569d64d768ab7de7891c406035995b5/PostHog/Replay/PostHogReplayIntegration.swift#L9 We will need to find alternatives for macOS

Hi @marandaneto - are you actively working on this? I'm on the market for a session replay solution on MacOS (AFAIK - none exist) and stumbled upon this issue! We use Posthog for analytics (and in other products) and would love to use it here as well.

Hello, sadly not. It is currently not prioritized. It's probably not a lot of work, it's mostly finding APIs around the ones we use for iOS already. Would you like to contribute with a PR, we'd guide you.

Ah, sorry to hear that, but sure, I'm open to giving it a try! Before I get too in-the-weeds, do you have any tips on developing/testing session replay? I reckon I'll have to build the server locally to see what's coming in from the client, which seems a tad daunting. Are there are any shortcuts or simpler dev processes?

I'd say just create a free account on posthog cloud and use that apiKey :) the repo has a macOS sample so you can just use that for testing out
