Hello,

is it possible to add attachments to the outlook-compose email that is launched from my application, using the outlook schema "ms-outlook://compose?to=test@ssss .com".

I have to say, the answer is No.

We could add body to the email schema string, such as :

 await Launcher.OpenAsync(new Uri("ms-outlook://compose?to=XXXcom&subject=XXX&body= < div style =\"width:450px;height:797px;\"><img src=\"http://your_website.com/your_image.jpg\" style=\"width:100%;height:100%;\"></div>"));  

Then, we will add an image as the attachment. But Apple has been removed for mailto links from iOS 14.6+, refer to https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/681023
