Open iCloud Drive in iOS app - ios

I want to allow document(pdf, doc, docx) selection in my app. And I want to integrate iCloud for this. All I want to do is to open the iCloud drive from my app and there user can select the file and returns back to the origin app. Something like whatsapp has done for document selection in iOS app.
Any idea regarding this?

Read this below link you will get idea: https://developer.apple.com/library/ios/documentation/FileManagement/Conceptual/DocumentPickerProgrammingGuide/AccessingDocuments/AccessingDocuments.html
Below is the code :
-(IBAction)iCloudDriveFullFolder:(id)sender{
UIDocumentPickerViewController *documentPicker = [[UIDocumentPickerViewController alloc] initWithDocumentTypes:#[#"public.data"]
inMode:UIDocumentPickerModeImport];
documentPicker.delegate = self;
documentPicker.modalPresentationStyle = UIModalPresentationFormSheet;
[self presentViewController:documentPicker animated:YES completion:nil];
}
#pragma mark - iCloud files
- (void)documentPicker:(UIDocumentPickerViewController *)controller didPickDocumentAtURL:(NSURL *)url {
if (controller.documentPickerMode == UIDocumentPickerModeImport) {
// NSString *alertMessage = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"Successfully imported %#", [url lastPathComponent]];
//do stuff
}
}

"sharerDidCancel:" is called after first successful share when Facebook app is not installed

I use a UIButton to share using Facebook's SDK 4.31.1. Once tapped, a share dialog is presented.
- (IBAction)btnSharePressed:(id)sender
{
[self displayShareDialog];
}
- (void)displayShareDialog {
FBSDKShareLinkContent *content = [self getShareContent];
if ([FacebookHandler isFacebookAppInstalled]) {
[FBSDKShareDialog showFromViewController:self
withContent:content
delegate:self];
} else {
FBSDKShareDialog * shareDialog = [[FBSDKShareDialog alloc] init];
[shareDialog setMode:FBSDKShareDialogModeBrowser];
[shareDialog setDelegate:self];
[shareDialog setFromViewController:self];
[shareDialog setShareContent:content];
[shareDialog show];
}
}
// Expects the URL of the scheme e.g. "fb://"
+ (BOOL)isFacebookAppInstalled {
NSArray* fbSchemes = #[#"fbapi://",
#"fb-messenger-api://",
#"fbauth2://",
#"fbshareextension://"];
BOOL isInstalled = false;
for (NSString* fbScheme in fbSchemes) {
isInstalled = [[UIApplication sharedApplication] canOpenURL:[NSURL URLWithString:fbScheme]];
if(isInstalled) {
break;
}
}
return isInstalled;
}
But when Facebook app is not installed, on every launch, on the first successful share the delegate method sharerDidCancel: is called and on any further successful share the correct delegate method sharer:didCompleteWithResults: is called.
I have correctly set the FacebookDisplayName and FacebookId in the plist file so it’s not about that.
I also tried switching FBSDKShareDialogModeBrowser with FBSDKShareDialogModeFeedBrowser with no luck.
Can someone shed some light on why the cancel method is called first, even though the share was completed successfully and why it is like that only after the first share?

SLComposeViewController post both image and url ios9

What I am trying to do and it doesn't work is the following: post an image of my choise and also an url to facebook using the built in facebook sharer, the problem is that it doesn't work to upload both, it's either picture + text and works nice or url + text and works nice, but when I combine them text+picture+url it gets the picture from the url and not my uploaded pic. Any suggestions? I am doing this on iOS9
UIImage *tableViewScreenshot = [tblFeed screenshotOfCellAtIndexPath:idx];
SLComposeViewController *fbSheet = [SLComposeViewController composeViewControllerForServiceType:SLServiceTypeFacebook];
[fbSheet setInitialText:#"I need your vote"];
[fbSheet addURL:[NSURL URLWithString:str]];
[fbSheet addImage:tableViewScreenshot];
The problem is that Facebook has changed some policies and by this you can't have a text or an image present as a default. That's why you're not seeing the text and photo. Here are 2 scenarios one with Facebook app installed and another one without Facebook app installed. The below one is when the Facebook app is already installed on the device.
And this one is when the Facebook app is not installed on the device
And this is my code:
SLComposeViewController *controller = [SLComposeViewController composeViewControllerForServiceType:SLServiceTypeFacebook];
[controller addURL:[NSURL URLWithString:#"https://www.google.com"]];
[controller addImage:[UIImage imageNamed:#"icon_circle"]];
[controller setInitialText:#"Bhavuk you're great!"];
[self presentViewController:controller animated:YES completion:nil];
So If you want to share everything, better use FB SDK.
So it seems at the moment there is no solution for this and we should find a workaround for it, maybe uploading everything first a picture to an url and then use fb sdk to point to a picture from that url + the link as an offline pic doesn't seem to work unfortunately.
Unfortunately, the problem remains even on iOS 10. An easy workaround is simply drop the URL, for example:
SLComposeViewController *fbSheet = [SLComposeViewController composeViewControllerForServiceType:SLServiceTypeFacebook];
[fbSheet setInitialText:#"I need your vote"];
[fbSheet addImage:tableViewScreenshot];
It's not a direct answer to the OP but in case of what you only care is showing text and image while sharing something, here is a possible solution:
If the image and the text that you want to show within your SlComposeView is the same as the information that exist within the web site that you are going to share; you don't need to do anything special at the iOS side at all.
If you are the one who also created the web page that you're sharing URL of, should you have proper Open Graph META Tags at the page, SLComposeView of type Facebook will show image and text which were set at the webpage within your app automagically.
For some information about Facebook Open Graph Markup; see https://developers.facebook.com/docs/sharing/webmasters/#markup
I have had facebook sharing working fine in my ios app when fb not install. and i have installed fb to use the latest api (4.7.x) and now sharing doesnt work at all. I check that I have publish_actions permission (which I do prior to this method being called, I have 'expicitly shared' checked in open graph settings, action types, capabilities. I am validating the content (I dont get an error) and have a delegate, none of its methods get called.
-(void)shareWithFacebook:(NSString *)message
{
if ([[FBSDKAccessToken currentAccessToken] hasGranted:#"publish_actions"])
{
NIDINFO(#"Facebook sharing has publish_actions permission");
}
else
{
FBSDKLoginManager *loginManager = [[FBSDKLoginManager alloc] init];
[loginManager logInWithPublishPermissions:#[#"publish_actions"]
handler:^(FBSDKLoginManagerLoginResult *result, NSError *error)
{
NIDERROR(#"Facebook sharing getting publish_actions permission failed: %#", error);
}
];
}
NSMutableDictionary *properties = [NSMutableDictionary dictionaryWithDictionary: #{
#"og:type": #"article",
#"og:title": #"Bloc",
#"og:description": message,
#"og:url": #"http://getonbloc.com/download"
}];
FBSDKShareOpenGraphObject *object = [FBSDKShareOpenGraphObject objectWithProperties:properties];
// Create the action
FBSDKShareOpenGraphAction *action = [FBSDKShareOpenGraphAction actionWithType:#"mynamespace:Share" object:object key:#"article"];
[action setString:#"true" forKey:#"fb:explicitly_shared"];
// Create the content
FBSDKShareOpenGraphContent *content = [[FBSDKShareOpenGraphContent alloc] init];
content.action = action;
content.previewPropertyName = #"article";
// Share the content
FBSDKShareAPI *shareAPI = [[FBSDKShareAPI alloc] init];
shareAPI.shareContent = content;
shareAPI.delegate = self;
NSError *error;
if([shareAPI validateWithError:&error] == NO)
{
NIDERROR(#"Facebook sharing content failed: %#", error);
}
[shareAPI share];
}
#pragma mark - FBSDKSharingDelegate
- (void) sharer:(id<FBSDKSharing>)sharer didCompleteWithResults:(NSDictionary *)results
{
NIDINFO(#"Facebook sharing completed: %#", results);
}
- (void) sharer:(id<FBSDKSharing>)sharer didFailWithError:(NSError *)error

Show App Store app page in app

There are some apps (like the free version of Cut the Rope) that present the App Store page of other apps directly in the app (probably using a modal view controller).
How do I implement this in my own app?
Example from Cut the Rope:
You can use SKStoreProductViewController for this, check out documentation for more detail
if ([SKStoreProductViewController class]) {
NSString *yourAppID = #"";//Give your app id here
NSDictionary *appParameters = #{SKStoreProductParameterITunesItemIdentifier :yourAppID};
SKStoreProductViewController *productViewController = [[SKStoreProductViewController alloc] init];
[productViewController setDelegate:self];
[productViewController loadProductWithParameters:appParameters completionBlock:nil];
[self presentViewController:productViewController animated:YES completion:nil];
}
One can implement a App Store page of any application within their own app by using the SKStoreProductViewController class.
NSString *strURL = #"" //Keep the App store URL here.
if ([[[UIDevice currentDevice]systemVersion]floatValue] >= 6.0)
{
SKStoreProductViewController *storeProductViewController = [[SKStoreProductViewController alloc] init];
NSRange range = [strURL rangeOfString:#"/id"];
NSRange rangeID = {range.location + 3, 9};
NSString *strAppID = [strURL substringWithRange:rangeID];
NSLog(#"appid = %#", strAppID);
// Configure View Controller
[storeProductViewController setDelegate:self];
[storeProductViewController loadProductWithParameters:#{SKStoreProductParameterITunesItemIdentifier : strAppID}
completionBlock:^(BOOL result, NSError *error) {
if (error) {
NSLog(#"Error %# with User Info %#.", error, [error userInfo]);
} else {
}
}];
// Present Store Product View Controller
[self presentViewController:storeProductViewController animated:YES completion:nil];
}
The above code also extracts the app ID from the URL.
You can read about it in the class reference.

Open App Store links without leaving the app, possible?

In iOS app,
Anytime I call this function to open app store,
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] openURL:[NSURL URLWithString:#"itms-apps://app-url"]];
The Original app will be deactivated.
The user will then have to restart the original app after they exit the App Store.
It’s very inconvenient way of installation.
Is there any way to open App Store links without leaving the app?
For example, opened as popup window,
after installation just close the popup window, and I can see the original app.
Updated :
I found a great example!
Like this game's popup.
Yes, we can open an App store link without leaving the existing app in IOS 6+.
you can use below for it.
#import <StoreKit/StoreKit.h>
SKStoreProductViewController *storeController = [[SKStoreProductViewController alloc] init];
storeController.delegate = delegate;
NSDictionary *productParameters = #{ SKStoreProductParameterITunesItemIdentifier : appStoreID };
[storeController loadProductWithParameters:productParameters completionBlock:^(BOOL result, NSError *error) {
//Handle response
}
Thanks
My version is here.
1) #import <StoreKit/StoreKit.h> and set SKStoreProductViewControllerDelegate
2) add delegate response method,
- (void)productViewControllerDidFinish:(SKStoreProductViewController *)viewController
{
// if user do cancel, close it
[viewController dismissViewControllerAnimated:YES completion:nil];
}
3) add store open code.
void SomeClassName::openAppStore(string appStoreId, string appUrl)
{
// below iOS 6.0
NSString *appUrlStatic = [NSString stringWithUTF8String:appUrl.c_str()];
// iOS 6.0 or above, appstore id is 9-digin number
NSString *appId = [NSString stringWithUTF8String:appStoreId.c_str()];;
// check SKStoreProductViewController API exist or not
if(NSClassFromString(#"SKStoreProductViewController")) {
SKStoreProductViewController *storeController = [[SKStoreProductViewController alloc] init];
storeController.delegate = self;
NSDictionary *productParameters = #{ SKStoreProductParameterITunesItemIdentifier : appId };
[storeController loadProductWithParameters:productParameters completionBlock:^(BOOL result, NSError *error) {
if (result) {
[self presentViewController:storeController animated:YES completion:nil];
} else {
[[[UIAlertView alloc] initWithTitle:#"Error Occur"
message:#"Error to open App Store."
delegate:nil
cancelButtonTitle:#"Ok"
otherButtonTitles: nil] show];
}
}];
[storeController release];
} else {
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] openURL:[NSURL URLWithString:appUrlStatic]];
}
}

Override UIActivityViewController default behaviour

In the Photos app on the iPhone, when you select the Mail sharing option, the photo animates into the modal view controller that slides up. How is it possible to modify the behaviour of the built-in UIActivities? For example, I'd like to be able to set the subject field of the mail composer.
Unfortunately, customizing the subject field of the UIActivityViewController mail composer is not working yet.
There is a documented and reported bug regarding trying to customize this discussed here:
iphone - How do I set recipients for UIActivityViewController in iOS 6?
If this were working, according to the documentation, you would be able to customize these mail composer fields:
UIActivityTypeMail:
The object posts the provided content to a new email message. When
using this service, you can provide NSString and UIImage objects and
NSURL objects pointing to local files as data for the activity items.
You may also specify NSURL objects whose contents use the mailto
scheme.
So using the mailto scheme, when it is working, you should be able to customize those fields like this:
NSString *text = #"My mail text";
NSURL *recipients = [NSURL URLWithString:#"mailto:foo#bar.com?subject=Here-is-a-Subject"];
NSArray *activityItems = #[text, recipients];
UIActivityViewController *activityController = [[UIActivityViewController alloc] initWithActivityItems:activityItems applicationActivities:nil];
[self presentViewController:activityController animated:YES completion:nil];
If your looking for other ways to customize the UIActivityViewControllerthere is an excellent example project here:
https://github.com/russj/ios6ShareDemo
This is how I did it and it's working for me in iOS 7.
Create a class that conforms to the UIActivityItemSource protocol:
#interface CustomActivityItem : NSObject <UIActivityItemSource>
#end
In the implementation override the relevant methods:
- (id)activityViewControllerPlaceholderItem:(UIActivityViewController *)activityViewController
{
return #"";
}
- (NSString *)activityViewController:(UIActivityViewController *)activityViewController subjectForActivityType:(NSString *)activityType
{
if ([activityType isEqualToString:UIActivityTypeMail])
{
return #"Subject"
}
return nil;
}
- (id)activityViewController:(UIActivityViewController *)activityViewController itemForActivityType:(NSString *)activityType
{
if ([activityType isEqualToString:UIActivityTypeMail])
{
return #"body";
}
return nil;
}
Then present the activity view controller:
CustomActivityItem* activityItem = [[CustomActivityItem alloc] init];
UIActivityViewController* activityViewController = [[UIActivityViewController alloc] initWithActivityItems:#[activityItem]
applicationActivities:nil];
[self presentViewController:activityViewController animated:YES completion:nil];
