Sharing on Android isn't working

I used to be able to share to Capacities from Android, and easily create a weblink. It stopped working a while back. When I share from the Android share menu, it takes me to Capacities but just to my daily page, not to creating a weblink. It used to gives me a prompt to choose my workspace, then it would create the weblink. I must now copy the link, then open the Capacities app, then create a new weblink, and paste the link.
I'm on a Nothing phone 2 with Android 15.

Mobile App - no longer able to "share" to Capacities as Weblink

I tried searching for an existing post like this, but didn't find one.
When I first started using Capacities in November 2024, I found that I was able to save URLs automatically as weblinks by "sharing" from the Chrome browser of my android phone. This was a very useful feature and one won me over to use Capacities as my primary note-taking tool.
However, in mid-December, this stopped working. As far as I know, I haven't made any changes to my settings. Ever since, I'd been trying to troubleshoot it to no avail. Part of my troubleshooting included uninstalling and reinstalling the app, using the reset button within the Capacities app, and playing with various settings to see what they do.
At this point, I'm having to copy the URL (2 taps), open the app (2 taps), create a new Weblink object (2 taps), and then paste it in; not mention whatever notes I was going to take for the link. That's at least 7 taps to do a 2 tap job that Google Keep can still do.
I'm wondering, is this a known issue? Are there steps to fix it? Or was I just lucky that it started off doing what I expected, and then it reverted to behaving as developers intended?

Android App: Unable to Share Links to Capacities

When attempting to share links from the Android app to Capacities, the app redirects to the Weblinks section but does not display the modal required to finalize the addition. Previously, I was able to complete this action seamlessly via the modal interface.

Same for me. Incredibly annoying and it basically makes the app less useful for me as this is one of my main use cases.
I have a Pixel 8 phone, latest Android version.
