iOS Share extension not showing for URLs and Text


So I have made a hybrid application using react-native and I had no issues setting up share for android, but in iOS I am not able to make my application appear on the share list. I need Apple Music or any application that shares a URL to be able to share to my extension.

I have added the following settings to my info.plist for the share extension

enter image description here

If I mention the NSExtensionActivationRule for an Image, I am able to see my application on the list but it is not working for URLs at all. Am I missing something in the setup ?

Update:

I am using MacOS 10.15 and Xcode 12.4 The share extension is working as expected on iOS 14.2 on an iPhone 8 and it is not working as expected in iOS 14.4.2 on an iPhone X

Found more information on Apple Developer forums: https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/662671?page=2

it seems to be getting fixed if you restart the device, this is an open issue and appeared first in iOS 14.4.1

found another issue with a similar problem Share extension - App not showing in share menu on first attempt since iOS 14


Solution

  • It seems to be fixed since I upgraded my Mac OS to the latest version BigSur, Share extensions are showing up normally again
