Contributor guide

Research direction
Investigate the share prompt view controller's presentation logic on iPad, especially on newer iOS versions. Check for changes in UIKit's UIPopoverPresentationController or how the anchor rect is set when the context menu is triggered. Compare behavior between iOS 16 and newer versions. Possibly the prompt is not being presented within the scrollable area.
