feat(mobile): share text, links and files to a Bot from any app by DoodleBears · Pull Request #2401 · BotHarness/DeepSeekBot

DoodleBears · 2026-10-20T10:50:10Z

Requested by Vain · project thread

Before: there was no way to send a page, photo or file from another app to a Bot. You had to copy it, open DeepSeekBot, find the chat, then paste it or pick the file again.

After: DeepSeekBot shows up in the system share sheet on iOS and Android.

Sharing text, a link, photos, videos or files opens a Send to (发送到) sheet. It has a title and a ✕, a preview of what arrived, and the paired Host's chats below.
Picking a chat opens it. The text goes below any unsent draft, and the files wait as attachment tiles. Nothing is sent until you tap Send.
✕ closes the sheet without keeping anything.
If no computer is paired, the sheet says so and offers Pair with your computer.

This is the last item of the native QoL batch Vain approved after #2364 and #2380.

How:

expo-sharing, already a dependency (SDK 58), can receive shares.
- On iOS it generates a Share Extension that opens <scheme>://expo-sharing.
- On Android it adds SEND / SEND_MULTIPLE intent filters to the main activity.
- app.config.js applies its plugin with the first scheme. The plugin writes config.scheme into the extension's Info.plist as a single string, and our dev config has three schemes.
+native-intent sends that deep link to the new /share route (share-path.ts). This check runs before the cloud mapping, which would otherwise rewrite the bundle-id scheme.
incoming-share.ts turns the resolved payloads into draft text and PickedFiles.
- Text and links become draft text, one per line.
- Files become PickedFiles, up to the composer's limit of 10.
- deliverShare appends the text to the chat's persisted source draft and holds the files. The conversation screen takes the held files when it mounts, through its existing mount ref.
Cloud channels are not share targets yet.

Screenshots (iOS 27 Simulator)

	Light	Dark
Send to: link
Send to: 2 photos

Release build, cold start from a share:

Send to	Draft in chat	✕ lands on Chats

Notes

Needs a native rebuild: expo prebuild adds a new extension target and an app group. On a local signed build, the default app group group.ai.botharness.deepseekbot.dev (or group.app.deepseekbot.mobile for the store variant) must be registered with the team. EAS registers it on its own.
Verification:
- pnpm lint, pnpm format:check, mobile tsc and the mobile vitest suite pass. The new incoming-share.test.ts covers the payload mapping, the attachment cap, appending to a draft, the one-time file hand-off and the deep-link match.
- iOS 27 Simulator, dev build: sharing a Safari link, appending to a 4-line unsent draft, sharing 2 photos (en and zh), the no-computer state, and the title and ✕ all pass. The Host was checked, and nothing was sent.
- iOS Release build: a share while the app is closed opens the chat with the link in the draft, and ✕ lands on Chats. Both pass.
- Android device checks are queued on the Windows lane.

Enable expo-sharing's share extension (iOS) and SEND intent filters (Android). The share deep link opens a Send to screen listing the paired Host's chats; picking one appends the text to that chat's unsent draft and hands the files to its composer as attachments.

Android phone result: PASS with findings (Xiaomi, Android 16 / HyperOS 3, release build of latest main, isolated QA Host, deepseek-v4.1-flash)

Screenshots: 2401-share-to-bot/phone (commit 6e4a78c)

Scene	Files
Text shared from Chrome opens the 发送到 sheet	`1-send-to-text-*`
Picked chat opens with the text in the draft, nothing sent	`2-text-in-draft-*`
2 images shared from Photos open the sheet	`3-send-to-images-*`
Picked chat opens with 2 attachment tiles, nothing sent	`4-two-attachments-*`

Findings:

The image share preview only says "2 个附件"; no thumbnails.
Attachment tiles land in reverse order (QA 2, QA 1) compared with the selection order.
In the light run the on-screen keyboard stayed up (the composer had focus before sharing) and covered the lower half of the chat list in the sheet.
Chrome's shared text carries extra quotes and a #:~:text= link; that is Chrome's own share format, noted only.

…#2401 (#2422) * fix(mobile): Android hardware Enter with WeType, attachment ✕, flick-up and shortcut icons - Treat an input-method Enter that echoes a hardware Enter as that key, so Enter and Ctrl+Enter send with WeType and similar input methods. - Stop the hidden measuring text in the composer from taking taps meant for the attachment ✕ and the mention list. - Lower the Android flick-up speed to 0.3 dp/ms. - Use the launcher icon for Android app shortcuts, which cannot draw SF Symbols.

The view now watches the focused field and turns a newline typed within 500 ms of a sending hardware Enter into a send. Also recheck the clipboard once Android gives the window focus back, and name shared files that arrive as bare media ids after their type.
