In iOS 8, Apple has now enabled a way for you to add your application to a user's Share Sheet as one of many features of Extensibility, which aims to make your app available to the user even when closed.

You can read a lot more about share extensions here, or go straight to Apple's pre-release documentation to dive into the code.


Update: Above link of Apple documentation is not working, check here App Extension Programming Guide: Share
