I'm building a cross-platform app (.NET MAUI) on ios with a feature that lets users send a block of text to their preferred note-taking app to save for later. This works fine via their documented x-callback-url schemes (e.g. bear://x-callback-url/create?text=...).
I'd like to support Apple's own Notes app the same way, but I can't find a documented mechanism to do so.
Questions:
-
Is there a URL scheme for Notes.app that a third-party app can use to open it, and if so, does it support passing in content for a new note?
-
Is there any officially supported way — App Intents, or otherwise — to create a new note with pre-filled text in Notes.app from another app?
-
Does the new Notes domain under App Intents (iOS 18+) apply to Apple's own Notes app, or is it purely a schema that third-party note apps can adopt for themselves? If it does apply, is there a way to invoke it directly from another app's UI rather than only via Siri/Shortcuts?
-
If none of the above exists, is routing through the standard share sheet the intended/only supported approach for this use case going forward?
Thanks in advance — wanting to make sure I'm not missing a documented mechanism before concluding this isn't possible.
