Remarks
The Share feature provides access to a list of target apps that can receive data that the user wants to share. This extensibility point enables your app to be included in the list of share targets.
ShareTarget must specify either SupportedFileTypes element, or at least one DataFormat element. It cannot omit both. The schema allows omitting both, but semantic validation will fail.
