This is not a web standard. Google wrote the specification and only Google have implemented it. It’s an unofficial draft:

> Editors:

> Matt Giuca (Google Inc.)

> Eric Willigers (Google Inc.)

> Status of This Document

> This specification was published by the Web Incubator Community Group. It is not a W3C Standard nor is it on the W3C Standards Track

— https://w3c.github.io/web-share-target/level-2/

Firefox doesn’t implement it either: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1476515

Apple raised a concern about spoofing which seems to have gone unaddressed by the spec authors in over a year: https://github.com/w3c/web-share-target/issues/109

This may yet turn into a web standard given more work, but please don’t hold up a Google spec. implemented only by Google as if it were a part of the web platform that Apple are late in implementing.
