I ran into an issue where I couldn't find the iOS counterpart for https://flutter.io/flutter-for-android/#how-do-i-handle-incoming-intents-from-external-applications-in-flutter. The use case is I want to share content from browser into my app. Can you please help?

Thanks for replying Eseidel! I'm basically looking for some help on Flutter integration for Share Extensions for iOS https://www.appcoda.com/ios8-share-extension-swift/ . I've implemented the Android part (using intent-filter with action=android.intent.action.SEND) but wasn't sure how to do the iOS part.

Would you be willing to file an issue requesting such?  Probably easier to work out the details there.  flutter.io/support

I think you will need to do this natively rather than with flutter or dart. See: https://developer.apple.com/library/archive/documentation/General/Conceptual/ExtensibilityPG/Share.html
