How to disable 'Replace' and 'Share' options on UITextField long press?

Question

On UITextField long tap, there are some options now, i.e., 'replace...' and 'share...' in addition to 'cut', 'copy', 'paste' and 'define' options. It is possible to disable these 'cut', 'copy', 'paste' and 'define' options via 'canPerformAction:withSender' method, but I could not find a way to disable these 'replace...' and 'share...' options. Are there any selector available for this also or could this be disabled any other way ? Anybody has come across this and successfully disabled these options? please suggest.

You can intercept long press event and give you own implementation and required behaviour. Please check accepted answer:

or provide allowed actions

- (BOOL)canPerformAction:(SEL)action withSender:(id)sender {
    if (action == @selector(copy:) ||
        action == @selector(selectAll:)) {
        return true;
    }

    return false;
}

Late to the party, but one option could be to use the action's description. Apple hasn't exposed Share as one of the UIResponderStandardEditActions items. So the workaround for this is to use action's description. Not an elegant solution, but should do the trick:

override func canPerformAction(_ action: Selector, withSender sender: Any?) -> Bool {
        if action == #selector(UIResponderStandardEditActions.copy(_:)) ||
           action.description.contains("_share") { // disabling share
               return false
        } else {
               return super.canPerformAction(action, withSender: sender)
        }
}
