Adding to Your Project

Swift Package Manager is the recommended way to integrate LNExtensionExecutor in your project.

LNExtensionExecutor supports SPM versions 5.1.0 and above. To use SPM, you should use Xcode 11 to open your project. Click File -> Swift Packages -> Add Package Dependency, enter https://github.com/LeoNatan/LNExtensionExecutor. Select the version you’d like to use.

You can also manually add the package to your Package.swift file:

.package(url: "https://github.com/LeoNatan/LNExtensionExecutor.git", from: "1.0")

And the dependency in your target:

.target(name: "BestExampleApp", dependencies: ["LNExtensionExecutor"]),

Usage

In the following example, the WhatsApp share extension is opened with an image:

import LNExtensionExecutor

//...

do {
	let executor = try LNExtensionExecutor(extensionBundleIdentifier: "net.whatsapp.WhatsApp.ShareExtension")
	let (completed, returnItems) = try await executor.execute(withActivityItems: activityItems, on: self)
	print("completed: \(completed) return items: \(returnItems)")
} catch(let error) {
	print("error: \(error.localizedDescription)")
}

The activity items provided to the execute method should be the same that would be passed to a UIActivityViewController instance.

Extension Bundle Identifier Discovery

Discovering the actual extension identifiers can be difficult. To assist with this task, the included example project helps you by setting a text field to the extension identifier you select in a UIActivityViewController. This identifier can then be copied and used inside your app.
