Share Extension stopped working in ios 18

[pavelustenko]

After I updated to ios 18 and XCode 16 I can not get Sharing Extension work anymore. When I choose my app as share destination nothing happens anymore. Moreover, there's no log entry with any error. This behaviour is the same in debug and release modes.
Please help!

The error is caused by Xcode 16. Please downgrade Xcode and rebuild.

This worked for me with Xcode 16 and iOS18

In the file ShareViewController.swift

@available(iOSApplicationExtension, unavailable) // <- Add this line
class ShareViewController: SLComposeServiceViewController {
...

// Update this function
private func redirectToHostApp(type: RedirectType) {
   guard let url = URL(string: "\(shareProtocol)://dataUrl=\(sharedKey)#\(type)") else {
      dismissWithError()
      return //be safe
   }

   UIApplication.shared.open(url, options: [:], completionHandler: completeRequest)
 }

// Add this funcion
func completeRequest(success: Bool) {
    extensionContext!.completeRequest(returningItems: [], completionHandler: nil)
  }

I hope this helps you

@mgvictor7 On iOS, is it possible to take a screenshot and immediately share it within the app? I’m encountering an issue where I can only save the screenshot to the gallery before being able to share it. Image example below:

@phuocnguyenncc you can apply this correction that is discussed in the following link

@feyzilim sorry, where did you find that file ShareViewController.swift ? I only have ReceiveSharingIntent.swift from this library or am I crazy? Nevermind, I just found it in the share extension... of course!

It's working on IOS 18 but for IOS 15, the app is not appearing on the share sheet list.
