Can I share a file with Web Share API on Safari

Question

I am trying to share file with Web Share API Level 2 with the following code:

var file = new File(["foo"], "foo.txt", {
    type: "text/plain",
});

window.navigator.share({
    text: "Share text",
    title: "Share title",
    files: [file]
})

Unfortunately, file not shared with iPhone, but successfully shared on Android.

Any solution for that?

Thanks in advance.

I got file sharing working. But on Whatsapp + iOS it only works if text and title content empty (only send the file).

  let data = {};
  if (files.length > 0) {
    data.files = files;
  }
  if (title !== '')
    data.title = title;
  if (text !== '')
    data.text = text;
  if (url !== '')
    data.url = url;

  error.textContent = '';
  navigator.share(data)
    .then(() => {
  })
    .catch((err) => {
    console.log('Unsuccessful share');
    error.textContent = 'Share failed: ' + err.message;
  });
