Description

Expected behavior

If you go to apple notes, and click on the share button you should be able to select to share to the WordPress app, and share as a draft to the WordPress app.

Actual behavior

In WordPress 12.6 and above WordPress does not appear as an option to share to. I tested this on a few other apps and it seems to be isolated to apple notes.

@jkmassel tested this with me and he was not seeing the same problem when using iOS 12.3, so it may be an iOS problem as well.

Steps to reproduce the behavior

On a device that is an older version of iOS than 12.3:

  1. open apple notes
  2. click on the sharing button
  3. click on more to look for WordPress.

WordPress 12.6, 12.6.1 (also tested on 12.5.1 and it was working fine)
iOS 12.3.1

Research direction

No source files, tests, or entry points are named. First reproduce the share flow on the specified iOS and WordPress versions, then determine whether WordPress is omitted only from Apple Notes; done means the app appears as a share option and accepts the note as a draft, or the issue is confirmed as an iOS limitation.
