Blank post trying to share media/links from another app when block editor enabled #10570

Expected behavior

When using the sharing feature from other apps into a new post on the WordPress App I would expect the title for the new post to be created automatically, and the shared content (link or image) to be added to the content.

Actual behavior

If you have the block editor enabled, using the "share to WordPress" feature will create a new empty post, it will not add the title or the content.

Interestingly enough, if you are sharing an image the image will be uploaded to the Media Library, but will not be inserted into the post.

Steps to reproduce the behavior

  1. Enable "Block Editor" option in a given blog (as this is a per-site setting)
  2. Open a different app (Gallery, Youtube).
  3. Share a video or an image from that other app into the WordPress app
  4. You will be redirected to new blank post, but the shared content will NOT be added to that new post.

Enable block editor
