We have an iOS application that supports the iOS share extension. We notice when a link is shared from Google Maps to other apps, the link automatically gets a "g_st" parameter with the bundle ID of the target app!
The bundle ID of the destination share extension app becomes a part of the shared URL dynamically!
This is being used as a kind of referrer with links. How is this being done and is this something that's allowed in iOS?
For example, if a Google Maps link is shared to the LinkedIn iOS app, the URL changes to contain LinkedIn's share extension bundle ID!
