ShareKit modal view controller won't go away

Question

I'm using ShareKit 0.2.1 on Xcode 4.2 (iOS SDK 5) to share text on Twitter. It shares fine, but the modal view controller wont go away after successfully sharing on after clicking on the cancel button (see below):

And this is my code:

-(IBAction)shareOnTwitter:(id)sender{


    // Item to share
    NSString *text = @"Go away, modal view controller!";

    [SHKTwitter shareText:text];

}

What am I doing wrong?

I am having the same issue as you. It is an iOS 5 issue. It's because ShareKit is using a method on UIViewController called parentViewController and according to the Apple docs you can no longer use this in iOS 5. Instead, you must use presentingViewController.

So to fix it in the ShareKit code, go into SHK.m, find the method with signature (void)hideCurrentViewControllerAnimated:(BOOL)animated, and replace it with:

- (void)hideCurrentViewControllerAnimated:(BOOL)animated
{
    if (isDismissingView)
        return;

    if (currentView != nil)
    {
        // Dismiss the modal view
        if ([currentView parentViewController] != nil)
        {
            self.isDismissingView = YES;
            [[currentView parentViewController] dismissModalViewControllerAnimated:animated];
        } else if ([currentView presentingViewController] != nil) {
            self.isDismissingView = YES;
            [[currentView presentingViewController] dismissModalViewControllerAnimated:animated];
    } else
        self.currentView = nil;
    }
}

This works for me on iOS 5.
