Description
We current support sharing text, URLs, and photos to the app via our share extensions. We can also add extra document types or imported UTIs (I'm not 100% sure which we need) to our Info.plist to display a "Copy to WordPress" action in other apps:
We can then update our implementation of - [UIApplicationDelegate application:openURL:options:] to handle these URLs and import their content into a new editor instance / post. We could support plain text + markdown files, as well as PDFs using PDFKit in iOS 11.
This would allow a user to, for example, draft a post in another app such as Byword or Bear Notes and then send the content straight into the editor in our app.

Research direction
Review the share-extension declarations in Info.plist and the UIApplicationDelegate application:openURL:options: entry point; check how current text, URL, and photo imports reach a new editor instance. Confirm the supported document UTIs and PDFKit handling, then verify that plain text, Markdown, and PDF files from another app appear in a new editor or post.
