I have managed to share the state of my app through expo-sharing with success but when I try to configure my app to open that file I'm unable to find exactly how to do it. I'm building my project with expo and I have the prebuild done, so I can edit the androidManifest.xml, to add the intents but i tried everything that I found and nothing works. For now I'm trying only to make my app apear as an option in the list of apps to "Open with..." the shared file. But I cannot find a way anywhere, and the IA is pointing me wrong with this topic.
This is my AndroidManifest.xml :
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET"/>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.MODIFY_AUDIO_SETTINGS"/>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE"/>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.RECORD_AUDIO"/>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.SYSTEM_ALERT_WINDOW"/>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.VIBRATE"/>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE"/>
<queries>
<intent>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.VIEW"/>
<category android:name="android.intent.category.BROWSABLE"/>
<data android:scheme="https"/>
</intent>

<application android:name=".MainApplication" android:label="@string/app_name" android:icon="@mipmap/ic_launcher" android:roundIcon="@mipmap/ic_launcher_round" android:allowBackup="true" android:theme="@style/AppTheme">

<data android:pathPattern=".*\\.silencetm" />
<data android:host="*" />

<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.VIEW"/>
<category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT"/>
<category android:name="android.intent.category.BROWSABLE"/>

</intent-filter>
<intent-filter>

</intent-filter>
</activity>
<activity android:name="com.facebook.react.devsupport.DevSettingsActivity" android:exported="false"/>
</application>
</manifest>
And this is the function that shares the state in a file:
const handleSharePreset = async (item: SilenceTimerPreset) => {
const fileName = `${item.title.replace(/\s/g, "_")}.silencetm`;
const filePath = `${FileSystem.cacheDirectory}${fileName}`;
await FileSystem.writeAsStringAsync(filePath, JSON.stringify(item), {
encoding: FileSystem.EncodingType.UTF8,
});
await Sharing.shareAsync(filePath, {
mimeType: "application/json",
dialogTitle: "Share your Silence Timer Preset",
UTI: "public.json",
}).then(async () => {
await FileSystem.deleteAsync(filePath).then(() => {
console.log("File deleted!");
});
});
};
Many thanks!
