    What process do you follow, what type of package?

    Assuming you right-click on a folder and choose "Export package ..." then this will export everything in that folder tree plus any references within the project's "Assets" tree.
    However, it won't include any dependent packages. So if any script in that folder tree uses a upm package, for example Netcode or Input System or Cinemachine or ProBuilder, then your friend also needs to manually import these.

    The easiest way to share these upm packages so that you're both using the same is by also sending the project's Packages/manifest.json file.

    However, I would strongly recommend to setup a github repository and share your project through that as it will ease collaboration and prevent irreversible loss of data.
