iOS 17 Airdropped file not opening in our app and instead opening in files app

Our application is configured to handle a custom file type with the extension .ptw. Until the release of iOS 17, when we used Airdrop to send a .ptw file, it would seamlessly open directly in our app on the receiving device. However, since iOS 17, we've noticed a change in behavior where the .ptw file is now being automatically saved to the Files app. To access it in our app, we must manually tap the share button and select our app from the sharing menu.

I'm curious to know if others have experienced this change as well, and whether this is the expected behavior in iOS 17 or We are missing some configurations to regain the previous behaviour.

If anyone has any insights, workarounds, or suggestions regarding this issue, please share them here.
