Hello,
In our application, we have implemented an app extension to allow users to open the main app directly from the share activity window. To achieve this, we used the openURL(:) method from the NSExtensionContext class, as documented here: openURL(:).
However, we received one post from Apple stating that opening the main app directly is typically only supported in extensions such as Today widgets or iMessage apps. They also mentioned that this approach may require an additional review during the App Store submission process.

Could someone clarify:
If using openURL(_:) in a share extension to open the main app would lead to potential issues during App Store submission?
Are there specific guidelines or alternative approaches we should follow to ensure compliance?
Any insights or recommendations would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you!
