1. HowTo share Files from Qt Mobile App with other Apps on Android and iOS

On Android we're using Intents, on iOS UIDocumentInteractionController.

Developed and tested on Android 6 - 10, iOS and Qt 5.15.5 Android: This release now supports FileProvider and sets Permissions if incoming Files need iOS: This release supports Xcode 12 and minimum iOS 12 (required by Qt 5.15)

Now more examplels included to share with other Apps: PNG, JPEG, DOCX, PDF

Here's an Overview about the workflows, per ex. Open a File from inside your App and edit in another App outside.

The goal of this app is to Open / View / Edit Files from your AppData Location in other Apps. But to be able to access your Files from AppData Location you first must copy them from AppData to shared UserData - per ex. DocumentsLocation. Of course at the end you need the modified File and you must delete the copy from Documentslocation, so we must watch for a SIGNAL from Android Intent or iOS UIDocumentInteractionController.
