iOS8 plugin pinterest.ShareExtension interrupted

Question

I have an iOS app that uses UIActivityViewController for sharing. When I try to share via Pinterest I see the Pinterest share dialog very briefly and then it disappears.

The following message is printed to the log:

plugin pinterest.ShareExtension interrupted

What is causing this error? What do I need to do to make Pinterest sharing work?

Answer 1

I already had a UIActivityItemSource to generate my share link. I was able to resolve this issue by returning an NSString rather than NSURL to the Pinterest extension.

if ([activityType isEqualToString:PinterestExtentionType]) {
    //Unclear why but passing an NSURL to the Pinterest iOS8 extention results in it instantly closing
    return shareUrlString;
} else {
    return [NSURL URLWithString:shareUrlString];
}
