My main goal right now is to get my app on the \"share to\" tab when pressin

Answer 1

I have found my answer using a android studio instead of xamarin, as it was giving me a lot of problems. If you have the same problem yourself, you should follow Arvindraja answer, please do not that his answer will only make your app appear in the share menu but the data you will share to it will not be saved anywhere, for that you will need additional code.

Answer 2

To have your project in share list you need to manipulate your menifest file

 <application
    android:allowBackup="true"
    android:icon="@mipmap/ic_launcher"
    android:label="@string/app_name" 
    android:roundIcon="@mipmap/ic_launcher_round"
    android:supportsRtl="true" 
    android:theme="@style/AppTheme">

<activity android:name=".MyActivity" >
    <intent-filter>
        <action android:name="android.intent.action.SEND" />
        <category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT" />
        <data android:mimeType="image/*" />
    </intent-filter>
    <intent-filter>
        <action android:name="android.intent.action.SEND" />
        <category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT" />
        <data android:mimeType="text/plain" />
    </intent-filter>
    <intent-filter>
        <action android:name="android.intent.action.SEND_MULTIPLE" />
        <category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT" />
        <data android:mimeType="image/*" />
    </intent-filter>
</activity>

    </application>
