02/20/2020, 6:14 PMIs there a common way that apps receiving an ACTION_SEND intent let the launching app know if the action was completed (eg user launches share sheet in App A -> taps whatsapp -> whatsapp populates message draft with link -> user taps send -> intent is returned with some special field denoting that a share send was completed)?
edit: I've combed through the docs and can see how we can confirm that another app was launched from the share sheet; just haven't seen a way for us to confirm that that apps actually completed the intended action

Longer answer: that's a complicated question that may have a complicated answer depending on what the other app is
