EDIT (2015/03/10) See new accepted answer. I tried it in a new project and it worked, although my test pods both used sharedApplication which is disallowed in extensions. The fact that they showed those errors means it linked properly. Way to go @LeChatNoir! Success. The solution is as follows: Once you have your app extension … Read more
Try this code UIResponder* responder = self; while ((responder = [responder nextResponder]) != nil) { NSLog(@”responder = %@”, responder); if([responder respondsToSelector:@selector(openURL:)] == YES) { [responder performSelector:@selector(openURL:) withObject:[NSURL URLWithString:urlString]]; } }
You cannot use UserDefaults.standard to share data between a host app and its app extension. You instead have to create a shared container with UserDefaults(suiteName:) to share data. Even though an app extension bundle is nested within its containing app’s bundle, the running app extension and containing app have no direct access to each other’s … Read more
As already stated by @przemyslaw-jablonski, this is similar to what was in XCode 10, but in only one screen (which I personally like!). Embedding Do not embed static frameworks and libraries (linking happens at build time), only shared ones (dynamic linking happens at run time, so they need to be in your bundle). file frameworkToLink.framework/frameworkToLink … Read more
You should use NSUserDefaults like this: Save data: objc NSUserDefaults *shared = [[NSUserDefaults alloc] initWithSuiteName:@”group.yougroup”]; [shared setObject:object forKey:@”yourkey”]; [shared synchronize]; swift let defaults = UserDefaults(suiteName: “group.yourgroup”) defaults?.set(5.9, forKey: “yourKey”) Read data: objc NSUserDefaults *shared = [[NSUserDefaults alloc] initWithSuiteName:@”group.yougroup”]; id value = [shared valueForKey:@”yourkey”]; NSLog(@”%@”,value); swift let defaults = UserDefaults(suiteName: “group.yourgroup”) let x = defaults?.double(forKey: “yourKey”) … Read more
Nothing should be copied. Just add required files to compile sources for your extension:
This is what I used to do: UIWebView * webView = [[UIWebView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, 0, 0, 0)]; NSString *urlString = @”https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/watuu/id304697459″; NSString * content = [NSString stringWithFormat : @”<head><meta http-equiv=’refresh’ content=”0; URL=%@”></head>”, urlString]; [webView loadHTMLString:content baseURL:nil]; [self.view addSubview:webView]; [webView performSelector:@selector(removeFromSuperview) withObject:nil afterDelay:2.0]; Please note that in this case I am instantiating this call from the … Read more
Debugging works for app extensions. It works on simulator too. If your app ext crashes in the simulator, you may find it is not easy to restart your app ext. Restarting your simulator is a quick solution. Steps to debug an app extension: Run the container app. In this step, Xcode uploads the container app … Read more
This is my code on Xcode 6.0 GM. Both orientations are supported. Update: Thanks to @SoftDesigner, we can eliminate the constraint conflict warning now. Warning: XIB and storyboard are not tested. It’s been reported by some folks that this does NOT work with XIB. KeyboardViewController.h #import <UIKit/UIKit.h> @interface KeyboardViewController : UIInputViewController @property (nonatomic) CGFloat portraitHeight; … Read more
Another benefit to App Groups is the ability to share a NSUserDefaults database. This also works for App Extensions (notification center widgets, custom keyboards, etc). Initialize your NSUserDefaults object like this in all applications in the app group and they will share the database: Objective-C: [[NSUserDefaults alloc] initWithSuiteName:@”<group identifier>”]; Swift: NSUserDefaults(suiteName: “<group identifier>”) Keep in … Read more
