Description

### Type of issue

Typo

### Description

Critical information is missing on how to share data **_to_** the MAUI app. In Xamarin this was done by adding a Share Extension for iOS.

Sharing to other apps is one thing, but possibly even more important is to share data from other sources **_to_** the MAUI app. How is it possible that this feature, that was available on Xamarin (you abandoned), seems to be still missing in MAUI and in the documentation? MAUI was released in May 2022. So almost 4 years later, there still seems to be no proper way to do a two-directional sharing feature? Without it MAUI will be useless for many iOS app scenario's.
It is required that this is finally implemented asap. Thanks.
