Share Extension is not showing data -- ios

Question

I am trying to create a share Extension. I am showing them into Table view. My data is coming but i am not able to see. Also it freezes (Like we have data and popup but not showing).

here is my sample code

//
//  ShareViewController.m
//  myAppShare
//
//  
//
//

#import "ShareViewController.h"
#import "MBProgressHUD.h"

@import MobileCoreServices;

static NSString *const AppGroupId = @"group.tag.BiblioHive7";

@implementation ShareViewController
{
    NSArray *arrayCategory;
    __weak IBOutlet UITextField *textFieldCategoryName;
    __weak IBOutlet UIButton *btnPost;
    __weak IBOutlet UIBarButtonItem *btnCancel;
    __weak IBOutlet UINavigationItem *nayTitle;
    __weak IBOutlet UINavigationBar *navBar;
}
-(void)viewDidLoad
{
    sharedUserDefaults = [[NSUserDefaults alloc] initWithSuiteName:AppGroupId];
    [sharedUserDefaults setObject:@"hello" forKey:@"hello"];

    NSString *userId= [sharedUserDefaults objectForKey:@"userId"];

    NSLog(@"%@", [[sharedUserDefaults objectForKey:@"categories"] class]);
    NSError* error;
    [self didSelectPost];
    if (userId==nil || [userId isEqualToString:@""] )
    {
        [self hideBackground];
        self.view.hidden= YES;

        UIAlertController * alert=   [UIAlertController
                                      alertControllerWithTitle:@"Error"
                                      message:@"Please login into myApp"

Answer 1

Your problem is that you want to populate table cell textLabel with an array object which is not saved with key value. In

-(UITableViewCell*) tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath

method you try to take an object which is not saved yet on that key.

cell.textLabel.text=[[arrayCategory objectAtIndex:indexPath.row] valueForKey:@"category_name"];

and in

-(void) tableView:(UITableView *)tableView didSelectRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
{
     [self saveInUserDefaultsWithCategoryName:[[arrayCategory objectAtIndex:indexPath.row] valueForKey:@"category_name"] andId:[[[arrayCategory objectAtIndex:indexPath.row] valueForKey:@"id"] integerValue]]; 
}

method, here you save the object.

This is a bad practice.
