I want my react-native app to be available for share from Whatsapp, Skype, Photos.. I tried using react-native-share-extension but it is only showing the extension in the Safari browser.
How to implement the sharing feature in applications other than Safari in react-native for iOS?
This is because the default setup if this package is for sharing urls to your app.
You need to change/extend/rewrite NSExtensionActivationRule
in Config.plist
of your share extension and stay with react-native-share-extension package. Read more about this key from author and in Apple docs directly.
So you can rewrite entirely rule to apply e.g. pdf files (as said in apple docs):
<key>NSExtensionAttributes</key>
<dict>
<key>NSExtensionActivationRule</key>
<string>
{extensionItems = ({
attachments = ({
registeredTypeIdentifiers = (
"com.adobe.pdf",
"public.file-url"
);
});
})}
</string>
</dict>
All keys for NSExtensionActivationRule
could be found here.
I fixed it by adding this in info plist
<dict>
<key>NSExtensionActivationRule</key>
<dict>
<key>NSExtensionActivationSupportsImageWithMaxCount</key>
<integer>1</integer>
</dict>
</dict>
