(This Item Cannot Be Shared, Please Select a Different Item) Sharing A Simple Text To Whats App Is Not Working Since Updated To iOS 9.3 in Swift

Question

This code used to work fine till the last update of XCode 7.3 and IOS 9.3, I tried searching over the internet but got nothing, So if anyone can help me out here would be a great help. Thank You

The code I am using to share the text in Swift is this:-

let objectsToShare = [TextToShare]
let activityVC = UIActivityViewController(activityItems: objectsToShare, applicationActivities: nil)

//New Excluded Activities Code
activityVC.excludedActivityTypes = [UIActivityTypeAirDrop, UIActivityTypeAddToReadingList]

if (UI_USER_INTERFACE_IDIOM() == UIUserInterfaceIdiom.Phone) {
self.presentViewController(activityVC, animated: true, completion: nil)
} else { //if iPad
// Change Rect to position Popover
let popoverCntlr = UIPopoverController(contentViewController: activityVC)
popoverCntlr.presentPopoverFromRect(CGRectMake(self.view.frame.size.width/2, self.view.frame.size.height/4, 0, 0), inView: self.view, permittedArrowDirections: UIPopoverArrowDirection.Any, animated: true)

}

The console show this error:-

plugin net.whatsapp.WhatsApp.ShareExtension interrupted
plugin net.whatsapp.WhatsApp.ShareExtension invalidated

And while sharing on Whats App shows this:

Apparently, this was an issue from WhatsApp's side. And it's now fixed with the latest update. I just confirmed it's working with my app. So, just update WhatsApp and it should work.
