I am working on a MAUI app for iOS that will be used for screen sharing and recording with the use of platform-centric features like broadcast extensions. I have two questions: Can I bundle an iOS extension as part of a MAUI app so that the extension will be included with the completed app? Since extensions must be created as an Xcode project, it requires bundling with the IPA file generated from a VSCode project on a Mac, resulting in different build environments. Is it possible to add a MAUI app to an Apple app group that already includes an iOS extension? Without an app group, it is difficult to communicate between the main app (MAUI) and the extension. I have seen many open issues on GitHub with people raising concerns that the main obstacle for migrating to MAUI is the lack of support for iOS extensions.

iOS extension is supported in MAUI project. For further investigation, could you share the following information? Which extension points? Such as Action, Share,Photo Editing and so on.

You are using VSCode to create an extension, right?
