Now the question is how do I set System_Item programatically, if I create barbuttonitem programatically ?

let shareButton = UIBarButtonItem(title: "",
                                  style: .plain,
                                  target: self,
                                  action: #selector(shareAction(sender:)))
    shareButton.tintColor = AppColor.barButtonColor

    navigationItem.rightBarButtonItem = shareButton
Solution

  • you need to use UIBarButtonSystemItemAction option to get share action directly 

       let share = UIBarButtonItem(barButtonSystemItem: .action, target: self, action: #selector(shareAction(sender:)))
    shareButton.tintColor = AppColor.barButtonColor
    navigationItem.rightBarButtonItem = share

    and handle the action as like 

    @objc func shareAction(sender: UIBarButtonItem) {

}
