Applies To

any iOS app containing content users might share (links, images, text, files, locations)

Examples

• SwiftUI: ShareLink(item: url, subject: Text('Check this out'), message: Text(article.title)).
• UIKit: UIActivityViewController(activityItems: [url], applicationActivities: nil); present modally.
• Verify: trigger sharing; standard iOS share sheet must appear with the full roster of system apps and extensions.

Rationale

The system share sheet gives users access to all their installed apps and extensions (Messages, Mail, AirDrop, third-party apps). Custom share UIs limit options to a hard-coded list and break user expectations of how sharing works on iOS.
