iOS Share Extension

[emilkaiser]

I was able to get an iOS Share Extension working with Capacitor. I hade to set Require Only App-Extension-Safe API to No in order for the app to compile. As I understand it, this will cause the app to be rejected by Apple when reviewing.

The reason seems to be the CapacitorCordova pod and 'sharedApplication' is unavailable: not available on iOS (App Extension) - Use view controller based solutions where appropriate instead.

I don't know enough about the underlying technology to know if it is even possible, but it would be really cool if you could build a Capacitor Share Extension and get it through Apple reviews. What are your thoughts on this?

Hey @emilkaiser, I'd also be very interested in this. I'm currently experimenting with Capacitor for a share extension (will try RN next, then just resort to building a native app).

Would you be willing to share a bit more about what you did to get the share extension working?
