Description

Hello,

For some reason when you try and share any file with the mime type of text with android 13, I noticed that the sharing data would never get sent for the reciving app to recive. The reciving app will still see something was sent, just not without any data. Strangly, all other file mime types would work fine. For reference, see this issue: https://github.com/SrS2225a/custom_uploader/issues/3

Research direction

Start by reproducing the Android 13 sharing-intent case with a text MIME type, then trace the sharing-intent data path described in the issue. Done means a receiving app gets the text file data, while sharing other MIME types continues to work.
