[HOLD][Tracking] Add Native Share Menus to New Dot - Share Into New Expensify #15603

Proposal

Let’s implement native share menus so users can both share-to and share-from New Dot.

Problem: There are plenty of times where I want to share something from outside our app into New Expensify. But there’s no way to quickly share links/photos/information while outside Expensify. For example, if I’m in the Photos App and I decide I want to share a photo, I’ll have to leave the app → open New Dot → go to the correct chat → click add attachments → find the same image again → and so on. On the flipside, there’s no easy way to export information from inside the app to outside Expensify. There’s no quick solution to export a PDF to print or to AirDrop a photo from one device to another.

Solution: Let’s utilize one of our external agencies to implement Native Share Menus. Share menus are an essential feature to most other chat apps. If a user wants to send a photo, let’s make it as easy as possible. From the photo app you’d just click share → New Expensify and voila! In fact, we already have this feature for Old Dot. Right now, you can take a picture -> share -> Expensify, and immediately start a smartScan. So adding Share Menus to New Dot would be a requirement to maintain feature parity between Old and New Apps. As for sharing from inside Expensify to outside sources, to make New Expensify our go-to chat and finance collaboration app in the future, we should be able to communicate with those who have not yet adopted the app. For those of us that are eager to use NewDot as our primary chat app in our day-to-day lives, this feature would be a valuable way to encourage that while the rest of the world is still using WhatsApp. Later on, external sharing can feed into our viral business model, where chats/photos/links sent from New Expensify can be wrapped in an advertising moment, incentivizing people to join New Expensify from other chat apps.

Started a conversation about working with an external agency here

grgia commented 1 year ago

I have updated the HL Design Doc

Some questions to keep in mind for a predesign:

For Share-to-Expensify: What activity will be triggered when clicking share? Do we want users to send a message? What will our Share Sheet look like? What information can the user customize when sharing into the app? How will a user select the destination of what they are sharing? How can we design this so we can later include sharing a photo -> Scan Receipt?

For Share-from-Expensify: What content should be shareable? Should it just be photos/attachments/QR codes? Should users be able to share IOU's/Report links? How might a share be initiated? Should we use the long-press and add it to the context menu? Should a user be able to share a link to a room with a share icon/button in the chat header?

Some related libraries:

React Native

External (I suggest we consider these, as we will want the ability to better customize the share modal)

I'm a broken record here, but I really, really hope we ditch the iOS share extension and just open the app. It feels like 90% of the work is iOS specific, totally avoidable, and goes explicitly against our cross-platform philosophy.
