Remarks
Secondary / Right Button behavior (iOS & Mac Catalyst): When Buttons is set to include Secondary on iOS or Mac Catalyst, a secondary pointer press is simulated using an internal ("fake") context menu gesture – the same approach used by TapGestureRecognizer. Because UIKit does not expose a stable API for tracking a continuous right-button (secondary) down state, the framework will raise PointerPressed followed immediately by PointerReleased for a secondary click. There is no intermediate prolonged pressed state for secondary button interactions on these platforms.
If you need to distinguish a primary press/release sequence from a secondary one, inspect Button in the event handlers. Do not rely on timing (e.g., expecting a noticeable delay between pressed and released) for secondary interactions on iOS/Mac Catalyst as both events may fire in immediate succession.
