CoreTransferable — Apple framework reference

CoreTransferable defines the Transferable protocol, which a type adopts to declare how it is encoded and decoded for drag-and-drop, copy-paste, and sharing across iOS, macOS, tvOS, watchOS, and visionOS. You describe these conversions by composing transfer representations that conform to TransferRepresentation, such as DataRepresentation for in-memory data, FileRepresentation for file-backed content, and ProxyRepresentation for standing in for another Transferable type. When content is exchanged as a file, you work with SentTransferredFile and ReceivedTransferredFile, and you can combine multiple representations using TupleTransferRepresentation while controlling exposure with TransferRepresentationVisibility.
