Add queries for app packages

You need to add the following queries to your app's AndroidManifest.xml file to ensure proper redirection to the respective social media apps:

<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    package="com.example.myapp">

    <queries>
        <!-- Query for Facebook -->
        <package android:name="com.facebook.katana" />
        <!-- Query for Twitter -->
        <package android:name="com.twitter.android" />
        <!-- Query for LinkedIn -->
        <package android:name="com.linkedin.android" />
        <!-- Query for Reddit -->
        <package android:name="com.reddit.frontpage" />
        <!-- Query for WhatsApp -->
        <package android:name="com.whatsapp" />
        <!-- Query for Telegram -->
        <package android:name="org.telegram.messenger" />
    </queries>

    <application>
         <!-- ... -->
    </application>
</manifest>

Media Sharing and Media Provider

This provides a specific file provider so that it can share files with other applications. To provide this functionality, you need to create an XML folder under the android>app>src>main>res folder and name it filepaths.xml. Then add the following code to the filepaths.xml file:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<paths xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
    <cache-path name="cache" path="." />
    <external-path name="external" path="." />
</paths>

This XML file specifies what types of files your file provider can provide. Then add a <provider> tag in your AndroidManifest.xml file like this:

<provider
    android:name="androidx.core.content.FileProvider"
    android:authorities="${applicationId}.fileprovider"
    android:exported="false"
    android:grantUriPermissions="true">
    <meta-data
        android:name="android.support.FILE_PROVIDER_PATHS"
        android:resource="@xml/filepaths" />
</provider>

This <provider> tag specifies the authorization of your file provider and what file paths it provides. The android:authorities attribute specifies the identity of your file provider, and the ${applicationId}.fileprovider value uses your application's credentials. This ensures the security of your application while allowing other applications to access files.

No special configuration is needed for iOS.
