Navigation after file share intent is not working

[daydar-ilx]

Description

If you want to navigate to another page when an intent is called (e.g. to share a pdf file to the MAUI app) the app only opens on the MainPage without any further navigation.

I hope the approach in the reproduction project is the one of the right ways since I have not found any documentation for working with intents in the MAUI context properly.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Create a File > New .NET MAUI app
2. Add to the MainActivity the Intent Filters Intent.ActionSend, Intent.ActionView to allow deep linking / opening our Maui app from a URL

[IntentFilter(
    new[] { Intent.ActionSend, Intent.ActionView },
    Categories = new[] { Intent.CategoryDefault },
    DataMimeType = @"application/pdf")]

4. Set LaunchMode = LaunchMode.SingleTop in Activity
5. Add a GoToAsync() call for another page in OnNewIntent()
6. Build and run the app
7. Open or share a pdf file from another app (e.g. my files app) to the MAUI app

Expected outcome: another page opens
Actual outcome: the MainPage is displayed

Any news on this?
I am also trying to implement receiving shared files in my app.
I thought it is a standard feature for many apps but it turns out to be a complete nightmare to implement in MAUI.
On Android, Shell seems to produce many issues.
On Windows I have not found a way to actually get access to the shared file.
Haven't tried iOS or mac yet.

I am also very interested in this question

我检查了你的代码，没有什么问题，只是一些大小写错误

I checked your code, there is nothing wrong with it, just some local capitalization errors

The if check in the example should be
if (intent.Action == Intent.ActionSend) not if (Intent.Action == Intent.ActionSend)

same capitalization error in the ActionView check.
