How to attach files to UIActivityTypeMail?

Question

I like to share files (images, videos, pdf, plist, txt…) with UIActivityViewController, I am trying to share a NSData object, but it wont work. If I replace the NSData with UIImage it works.

Is it possible to add this to the UIActivityViewController: [mailer addAttachmentData:imageData mimeType:[[self.filePath lastPathComponent] pathExtension] fileName:[self.filePath lastPathComponent]];

OK, so no no mime type for all file types. Anyway, can you help me to attach a any file to the email? — David Gölzhäuser, Sep 14 '13 at 22:49

If you want to attach raw data you should use an appropriate mime type, like

application/octet-stream

And preferably set an appropriate file name and extension (like .bin )

Try this to determine the mime type for files.

See the edit, try to determine the correct mime type for the files. – Wain Sep 14 '13 at 23:03
OK, I'll look into it later. But do you know how to add any file as NSData to the email in UIActivityViewController? – David Gölzhäuser Sep 14 '13 at 23:34
You need to look at `UIActivityItemProvider` and how it works with the controller. – Wain Sep 14 '13 at 23:48
