I am trying to create a share app extension and followed the tutorial from this source:
http://www.technetexperts.com/mobile/share-extension-in-ios-application-overview-with-example/
I am using XCode 8.0 (8A218a) On simulator it works as expected. On my iPhone 5s with iOS 9.3.3.
I install the container application first and then run Extension by choosing Photos app when XCode asks "Choose an app to run".
Now when I open a photo while extension is running, the following error appears:
MobileSlideShow[3500:589624] *** error reading settings archive file: <ISRootSettings:
/var/mobile/Documents/com.apple.mobileslideshow.settings/ISRootSettings_10.plist>
Now when I tap the Share button, my container app doesn't appear in the list of Apps capable of Sharing picture.
EDIT: I am sharing some code:
ShareViewController.m
@implementation ShareViewController
- (BOOL)isContentValid {
// Do validation of contentText and/or NSExtensionContext attachments here
return YES;
}
- (void)didSelectPost {
for (NSItemProvider* itemProvider in ((NSExtensionItem*)self.extensionContext.inputItems[0]).attachments ) {
if([itemProvider hasItemConformingToTypeIdentifier:@"public.jpeg"]) {
NSLog(@"itemprovider = %@", itemProvider);
[itemProvider loadItemForTypeIdentifier:@"public.jpeg" options:nil completionHandler: ^(id<NSSecureCoding> item, NSError *error) {
NSData *imgData;
if([(NSObject*)item isKindOfClass:[NSURL class]]) {
imgData = [NSData dataWithContentsOfURL:(NSURL*)item];
}
if([(NSObject*)item isKindOfClass:[UIImage class]]) {
imgData = UIImagePNGRepresentation((UIImage*)item);
}
NSDictionary *dict = @{
@"imgData" : imgData,
@"name" : self.contentText
};
NSUserDefaults *defaults = [[NSUserDefaults alloc] initWithSuiteName:@"group.iosApp.testSharing"];
[defaults setObject:dict forKey:@"img"];
[defaults synchronize];
}];
}
}
}
@end
ViewController.m
@implementation ViewController
- (void)viewWillAppear:(BOOL)animated {
[super viewWillAppear:animated];
NSUserDefaults *defaults = [[NSUserDefaults alloc] initWithSuiteName:@"group.iosApp.testSharing"];
NSDictionary *dict = [defaults valueForKey:@"img"];
if (dict) {
NSData *imgData = [dict valueForKey:@"imgData"];
UIImage *image = [UIImage imageWithData:imgData];
[_shareImageView setImage:image];
_shareImageNameLabel.text = [dict valueForKey:@"name"];
[defaults removeObjectForKey:@"img"];
}
}
@end
You have to change the deployment target of share extension form target of your project then it starts working.
