Wordpress-ios: Alert when/before deleting a post

[kwonye]

Currently when you delete a post, the only indicator is the post list item changing as shown here:

Let's either show an alert before (confirming the action) or after (how Android does it).

How about creating a UIAlertAction after the user taps on the bin button to alert the user that the post is going to be deleted and she can choose between ok and cancel?

@ablyx thanks for the suggestion! Do you think this action warrants such a "blocking" UI element?

I'm not sure about adding a confirmation prompt (either before or after) since we want to stay consistent with the experience on calypso. Would it be better to maintain the full sized card with an "undo" overlay (which is what Calypso does) rather than transitioning to the small cell?

[kwonye]

@aerych I agree that's the best initial option as the fix should be super quick 👌

[ablyx]

What about trashed posts, should there be an alert for that?

[aerych]

@ablyx good point, and calypso does show a prompt in that particular case.

@aerych I created issue #6415 for that case. Will submit a pr for that soon.

This sounds like the change proposed in https://github.com/wordpress-mobile/WordPress-iOS/issues/4185. I'm closing this issue as it looks like the suggested change is a duplicate of that issue; please reopen if I'm missing anything.
