Web Share Target API isn't a good experience on Android either.

Partly because it only works if the user visits your site with Chrome for Android (even Chromium browsers don't work).

And partly because receiving a share unrecoverably takes over whatever the user is doing. If the user opens something from your PWA (an external link, another app) and then shares back into your PWA, whatever they were looking at gets killed and your PWA navigates to the share target.

I'm building a web app built around sharing and I'm going to have to wrap it in an Android app solely to get around this.
