The root layout (`app/_layout.tsx`) listens for incoming URLs via `Linking.addEventListener` (warm start) and `Linking.getInitialURL()` (cold start). If the URL uses the `docuelevate://` scheme it is automatically rewritten to `file://` before being forwarded. Incoming files are stored in `ShareContext` and automatically uploaded by `UploadScreen`.
#### Handling "unmatched route" errors from "Open In…"
iOS sometimes delivers the file path under the `docuelevate://` scheme:
```
docuelevate://private/var/mobile/Library/Mobile Documents/…/Invoice.pdf
```
expo-router strips the scheme and tries to match `/private/var/mobile/…` as an in-app route. The catch-all `app/+not-found.tsx` intercepts this, detects the filesystem-path pattern, and immediately redirects to the Upload tab. The file — already added to `ShareContext` by the `Linking` listener — is then uploaded automatically.
**Supported iOS file types:** PDF, images (JPEG / PNG / GIF / BMP / TIFF / WebP), plain text, Word (`.docx`, `.doc`), Excel (`.xlsx`, `.xls`), PowerPoint (`.pptx`, `.ppt`), and any other file (`public.data`).

> **Note:** `CFBundleDocumentTypes` with `LSHandlerRank: Alternate` means DocuElevate appears in the share sheet as an option but does **not** become the default app for any file type.
#### iOS Action Extension (future enhancement)
Apps like DeepL ("Translate in DeepL") appear as **Action Extensions** in the iOS share sheet, which requires a separate Xcode target and native Swift code. This is planned as a future enhancement. The current `CFBundleDocumentTypes` approach places DocuElevate in the "Open With" row of the share sheet.
### Android how it works
`app.json` declares `intentFilters` for `ACTION_SEND` and `ACTION_SEND_MULTIPLE` with `mimeType: "*/*"`. When a user shares a file from another app and selects DocuElevate, Android delivers the content URI through the share intent, which is captured via `Linking.getInitialURL()` and processed the same way as on iOS.
