1917590 - Use Android 14's share sheet, instead of a custom one

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 2010017

(Firefox for Android :: Share, enhancement)

Description

[Rodrigo Souza]

Attachment: shareComparation.png

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/128.0.0.0 Safari/537.36 Edg/128.0.0.0

Steps to reproduce:

Visit any website and open the browser share menu

Actual results:

Currently, Firefox uses a custom share menu to have your actions (Send to Device, Save as PDF, Print...) highlighted.

Expected results:

On Android 14+, it's no longer necessary.
Because now it's possible to implement the app's custom actions directly in Android native Share Sheet. Providing an extremely more fluid, simplified and user-friendly experience.

Can someone mark this as a dupe of bug 2010017 please?

Perhaps, it would be better as a dependency of it, with smaller scope, considering that id=1809794#c5 explains that it's not duplicate.

Looking at the new meta bug, you can see that 14+ specific work is happening in the dependencies.

I'll remove the other connection, then. Thanks.
