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).
