It's when you open an email attachment, or a file in a file manager. How does the OS know which apps to offer as targets to share those files with? Because apps can declare which file extensions they can handle, of course... right?

On iOS: yes, that really is all there is to it. It's not super obvious, but it's easy once you know where to add the required settings. But on Android? *shudder* It took me about two weeks before file extension mapping worked as it should. It's a totally insane, broken API, which has been exactly that way since Android 1.0, and has never seen the slightest improvement in the, what, 14 years? since then. *shudder*
