## iOS
#### 1. Create Share Extension
- Using Xcode, go to File/New/Target and Choose "Share Extension".
- Give it a name, i.e., "Share Extension".
Make sure the deployment target for Runner.app and the share extension is the same.
#### 2. Replace your [ios/Share Extension/Info.plist](./example/ios/Share%20Extension/Info.plist) with the following:
```xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">
<plist version="1.0">
<dict>
<key>AppGroupId</key>
<string>$(CUSTOM_GROUP_ID)</string>
<key>CFBundleVersion</key>
<string>$(FLUTTER_BUILD_NUMBER)</string>
<key>NSExtension</key>
<dict>
<key>NSExtensionAttributes</key>
<dict>
<key>PHSupportedMediaTypes</key>
<array>
<!--TODO: Add this flag, if you want to support sharing video into your app-->
<string>Video</string>
<!--TODO: Add this flag, if you want to support sharing images into your app-->
<string>Image</string>
</array>
<key>NSExtensionActivationRule</key>
<dict>
<!--TODO: Add this flag, if you want to support sharing text into your app-->
<key>NSExtensionActivationSupportsText</key>
<true/>
<!--TODO: Add this tag, if you want to support sharing urls into your app-->
<key>NSExtensionActivationSupportsWebURLWithMaxCount</key>
<integer>1</integer>
<!--TODO: Add this flag, if you want to support sharing images into your app-->
<key>NSExtensionActivationSupportsImageWithMaxCount</key>
<integer>100</integer>
<!--TODO: Add this flag, if you want to support sharing video into your app-->
<key>NSExtensionActivationSupportsMovieWithMaxCount</key>
<integer>100</integer>
<!--TODO: Add this flag, if you want to support sharing other files into your app-->
<!--Change the integer to however many files you want to be able to share at a time-->
<key>NSExtensionActivationSupportsFileWithMaxCount</key>
<integer>1</integer>
</dict>
</dict>
<key>NSExtensionMainStoryboard</key>
<string>MainInterface</string>
<key>NSExtensionPointIdentifier</key>
<string>com.apple.share-services</string>
</dict>
</dict>
</plist>
```
#### 3. Add the following to your [ios/Runner/Info.plist](./example/ios/Runner/Info.plist):
```xml
...
<key>AppGroupId</key>
<string>$(CUSTOM_GROUP_ID)</string>
<key>CFBundleURLTypes</key>
<array>
<dict>
<key>CFBundleTypeRole</key>
<string>Editor</string>
<key>CFBundleURLSchemes</key>
<array>
<string>ShareMedia-$(PRODUCT_BUNDLE_IDENTIFIER)</string>
</array>
</dict>
</array>
<key>NSPhotoLibraryUsageDescription</key>
<string>To upload photos, please allow permission to access your photo library.</string>
...
```
#### 4. Add the following to your [ios/Runner/Runner.entitlements](./example/ios/Runner/Runner.entitlements):
```xml
....
<!--TODO: Add this tag, if you want support opening urls into your app-->
<key>com.apple.developer.associated-domains</key>
<array>
<string>applinks:example.com</string>
</array>
....
```
#### 5. Add the following to your [ios/Podfile](./example/ios/Podfile):
```ruby
...
target 'Runner' do
use_frameworks!
use_modular_headers!
flutter_install_all_ios_pods File.dirname(File.realpath(__FILE__))
# Share Extension is name of Extension which you created which is in this case 'Share Extension'
target 'Share Extension' do
inherit! :search_paths
end
end
...
```
#### 6. Add Runner and Share Extension in the same group
* Go to `Signing & Capabilities` tab and add App Groups capability in **BOTH** Targets: `Runner` and `Share Extension`
* Add a new container with the name of your choice. For example `group.MyContainer` in the example project its `group.com.kasem.ShareExtention`
* Add User-defined(`Build Settings -> +`) string `CUSTOM_GROUP_ID` in **BOTH** Targets: `Runner` and `Share Extension` and set value to group id created above. You can use different group ids depends on your flavor schemes
#### 7. Go to Build Phases of your Runner target and move `Embed Foundation Extension` to the top of `Thin Binary`.
#### 8. Make your `ShareViewController` [ios/Share Extension/ShareViewController.swift](./example/ios/Share%20Extension/ShareViewController.swift) inherit from `RSIShareViewController`:
```swift
// If you get no such module 'receive_sharing_intent' error.
// Go to Build Phases of your Runner target and
// move `Embed Foundation Extension` to the top of `Thin Binary`.
import receive_sharing_intent
class ShareViewController: RSIShareViewController {
// Use this method to return false if you don't want to redirect to host app automatically.
// Default is true
override func shouldAutoRedirect() -> Bool {
return false
}
}
```
#### Compiling issues and their fixes
* Error: No such module 'receive_sharing_intent'
* Fix: Go to Build Phases of your Runner target and move `Embed Foundation Extension` to the top of `Thin Binary`.
* Error: App does not build after adding Share Extension?
* Fix: Check Build Settings of your share extension and remove everything that tries to import Cocoapods from your main project. i.e. remove everything under `Linking/Other Linker Flags`
* You might need to disable bitcode for the extension target
* Error: Invalid Bundle. The bundle at 'Runner.app/Plugins/Sharing Extension.appex' contains disallowed file 'Frameworks'
* Fix: https://stackoverflow.com/a/25789145/2061365
