Summary: An API that allows websites to declare themselves as web share targets, which can receive shared content from either the Web Share API, or system events (e.g., shares from native apps).
Bug: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1476515
Fenix bug: https://github.com/mozilla-mobile/fenix/issues/5783
Standard: https://wicg.github.io/web-share-target/
Platform coverage: Android.
DevTools bug: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1586160
Other browsers: "shipped" in Chrome 71 - https://www.chromestatus.com/features/5662315307335680.
Web-platform-tests: requires manual tests.
Secure contexts: Yes.
Is this feature enabled by default in sandboxed iframes? No.
If not, is there a proposed sandbox flag to enable it? No.
Link to standards-positions discussion: https://github.com/mozilla/standards-positions/issues/176
How stable is the spec: somewhat stable, as it's shipping in Chrome. We hope by implementing we will tease out any additional issues and make it stable.
Security & Privacy Concerns: https://wicg.github.io/web-share-target/#security-and-privacy-considerations
Web designer / developer use-cases: PWAs may want to receive data from other apps, such as sharing a URL to Twitter or sharing an image to Squoosh. Web Share Target lets installed PWAs show up as entries in the Android share sheet. Eventually this could be extended to other platforms as they add support for sharing with websites (and not just native apps, as is currently the case on Windows and MacOS).
Example: Please see https://developers.google.com/web/updates/2018/12/web-share-target

Is this something that we could be tested with testdriver.js inside wpt?

It's complicated because every handles installation differently in their respective UIs (and it can chance from one browser version to another).
