Feedback.forLongPress does not provide feedback on iOS

[saibotma]

Steps to reproduce

Execute Feedback.forLongPress on an iOS device.
Or run the example on iOS and long press the screen.
Notice that it prints "Long-press started" to the console, but there is no feedback.

Expected results

Should provide haptic feedback. The documentation says "On iOS this is a no-op as that platform usually doesn't provide feedback for long presses.", however this is wrong from my point of view.
iOS gives feedback for long presses, for example when long pressing on a photo in the Photos app, or long pressing on a message in iMessage. The feedback includes a "tap" Sound, when sounds are enabled, and haptic feedback similar to HapticFeedback.heavyImpact().

I am not an iOS guy, so I would appreciate it if an iOS guy can provide his opinion on this topic.

Actual results

Does not provide haptic feedback and sound.

Code sample

Code sample

import 'package:flutter/material.dart';

void main() {
  runApp(const MyApp());
}

class MyApp extends StatelessWidget {
  const MyApp({super.key});

  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return MaterialApp(
      home: GestureDetector(
        onLongPressStart: (_) {
          print("Long-press started");
          Feedback.forLongPress(context);
          //HapticFeedback.heavyImpact();
        },
        child: Container(
          color: Colors.white,
          child: const Center(child: Text("Long-press me")),
        ),
      ),
    );
  }
}

Labeling for further insight from the team.
