Ok here is another method to access hidden .obsidian and plugin folders / directories in your vault on iPhone and iPad using iSH Shell app. It is very lightweight at only 6mb in size compared to the other options I mentioned in Discord (LibTerm and a-shell)!! Thanks again @Mara-Li for the ideas and help!
Here is what I got to work:
-
install iSH Shell iOS app (see screenshot)
-
mount your obsidian vault folder by running:
mount -t ios . /mnt
(this will open up Files app to select your folder) -
select local On My Phone > Obsidian > “Your Vault Name” … in my example my vault name is iPhone (see screenshot)
-
Change to the directory with
cd /mnt
which will take you to the root folder of your vault (that you just selected in step 3) -
use
ls -a
to see hidden directories which will show you the .obsidian folder (see screenshot) -
now cd to the .obsidian folder and you will see your plugins folder which you can cd to as well! (See screenshot)
