Description

Expected behavior

When sharing a pdf (or other kind of app supported file) we would like the WPAndroid app to be offered in the list of possible receiving client apps, so we can add the file to the Media Library and/or create a post with that.

Actual behavior

When sharing a pdf (need to check with other kind of app supported files) WPAndroid app is not offered in the list of possible receiving client apps.

Steps to reproduce the behavior
  • Browse to a pdf file from the File Manager system Android app
  • Try to share the pdf file
  • Check the WPAndroid app is not offered in the list
Tested on [OnePlus 7T], Android [10.0], WPAndroid [15.5]

Research direction

Reproduce the issue by sharing a PDF from the system Android File Manager on Android 10 with WPAndroid 15.5, then trace how the app declares and handles shared files. Done means WPAndroid appears among receiving apps and can add the shared file to the Media Library or use it to create a post.
