get share link (file link) for BOX in iOS - ios

Question

I am using box SDK V2 and the folder picker present in the sample app. I do not need any upload or download facility. I just need to get the file's ShareLink.
I am successfully displaying the filename and everything but not the share link.
I am getting a NULL.
- (void)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView didSelectRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
{
BoxItem *item = (BoxItem *)[self.folderItemsArray objectAtIndex:[indexPath row]];
NSLog(#"item type : %# : %# : %# ", item.type, item.name, item.sharedLink);
}
Am using this code.(from sample app)
I am getting results like:
1.item type : file : dummy.pdf : (null)
2. item type : file : presentations-tips.ppt : (null)
I am not getting the sharedlink.
first reaction: may be sharedlinks are not created for those files, So:
I went to my box account and created share links for those files through my desktop.
and rechecked. but got same result.
I need the shared link badly. Please help. Thanks in advance

I got the solution for getting shared link of file. Write following lines of code where you want to get shared link.
BoxFileBlock successfulShare = ^(BoxFile *file)
{
dispatch_sync(dispatch_get_main_queue(), ^{
UIAlertView *alertView = [[UIAlertView alloc] initWithTitle:#"File Share Successful" message:[NSString stringWithFormat:#"Shared link: %#", [file.sharedLink objectForKey:#"url"]] delegate:nil cancelButtonTitle:#"OK" otherButtonTitles:nil];
[alertView show];
});
};
BoxAPIJSONFailureBlock failedShare = ^(NSURLRequest *request, NSHTTPURLResponse *response, NSError *error, NSDictionary *JSONDictionary)
{
BOXLog(#"status code: %i", response.statusCode);
BOXLog(#"share response JSON: %#", JSONDictionary);
};
BoxFilesRequestBuilder *builder = [[BoxFilesRequestBuilder alloc] init];
BoxSharedObjectBuilder *sharedBuilder = [[BoxSharedObjectBuilder alloc] init];
sharedBuilder.access = BoxAPISharedObjectAccessOpen;
builder.sharedLink = sharedBuilder;
[[BoxSDK sharedSDK].filesManager editFileWithID:YOUR_FILE.modelID requestBuilder:builder success:successfulShare failure:failedShare];
