Simplest way to add share extension?

[crieggalder]

Hey @EvanBacon, thanks for this and all the work you do for the community!

What's the simplest way to add a share extension to an Expo app? Combining this with something like https://github.com/Expensify/react-native-share-menu?

A brief example of adding a share extension would be super helpful, as I suspect it's the most common use case people have (3rd highest feature request here: https://expo.canny.io/feature-requests/p/share-extension-ios-share-intent-android).

Thanks!

@crieggalder , did you figure out how to do this? I'm hoping to do the same thing!

[crieggalder]

@bwjohns4 nope, lmk if you do!

I'd recommend just pulling the source into your app for now. I did this with one of my dogfood projects https://github.com/EvanBacon/pillar-valley/tree/master/targets/widgets

Hi @EvanBacon , are there any operations to perform after importing the target?
I can build the application with npx expo prebuild and npx expo run:ios but I don't see the extension in the share panel

these are the tasks I performed

1. Create an expo project
2. Copied target of share extension
3. Inside share.entitlements replace <string>group.com.bacon.rnbeta</string> to <string>group.<myBundleIdentifier></string>
4. npx expo prebuild
5. npx expo run:ios
