I'm learning more about .net maui, I would like to know how I can associate a ".txt" extension with my Android/iOS application so that when the user opens the file with the ".txt" extension, they are redirected to my application

For Android, you could try intent filter. For iOS, it's not clear to use share extension or set CFBundleDocumentTypes, please describe more about your expected behavior.

2024-03-25T23:36:32+00:00 Sorry for the lack of coherence, I'm using a translator to ask this question.
my scenario is the following:
I have a custom file extension .dft
this file has several data, I want to set my application as the default for this .dft extension, so when it is shared through WhatsApp the user clicks on the .dft file it will be redirected to my app

2024-03-26T07:29:24.35+00:00 I got it. For Android, you could try Android intent filter: file extension. For iOS, you could use iOS share Extensions. (Since there is not such official doc about it, you could refer to iOS Extensions #3289)
