Description

Expected behaviour

Opening a .md file in the Nextcloud iOS app renders it contents in the app.

Actual behaviour

Opening a .md file in the Nextcloud app asks the user to pick an app to open the file in. There's no way to render the markdown in the Nextcloud app.

  2. Tap on the markdown file

Research direction

Start by reproducing the issue in the Nextcloud iOS app with a directory containing a .md file, using the reported iOS 12.4.6 and app version 3.0.0 details as context. No source file or test is named; the work is done when tapping a Markdown file renders its contents in the app instead of offering an external app picker.
