Using a PHLivePhoto with a UIActivityViewController

Question

Trying to share as activity a PHLivePhoto within a UIActivityViewController without any result more than the console output:

Resource not found (3 times logged)

I use the PHLivePhoto request with local URL's from document directory: Both files are already there. I set a PHLivePhotoView with the completion Live Photo witch works fine and I can reproduce/replay without any issues.

 PHLivePhoto.request(withResourceFileURLs: [ URL(fileURLWithPath: FilePaths.VidToLive.livePath + "/IMG.MOV"), URL(fileURLWithPath: FilePaths.VidToLive.livePath + "/IMG.JPG")],
                                    placeholderImage: nil,
                                    targetSize: self!.view.bounds.size,
                                    contentMode: PHImageContentMode.aspectFit,
                                    resultHandler: { (livePhoto, info) -> Void in
                                        self?.livePhotoView.livePhoto = livePhoto
                                        self?.exportLivePhoto()
                })

The problem is that I'm not quite sure what should be the content of the activity, I've try without any results:

let ac = UIActivityViewController(activityItems: [self.livePhotoView.livePhoto], applicationActivities: nil)

Been trying to fill as activity items with:

URL Document path (where video and image exist)
Both URLS from image and video (reverse order)
LivePhoto itself (as code below)
Trying to delay the LivePhoto creation as other people may suggest.

content of the activity vc should be simple image (UIImage object), you can not share live photo as is — Anton Rodzik, Oct 01 '18 at 11:02
I think thats not quite right since you can from Photos and Airdrop, even create a Watchface. — yreaction, Oct 01 '18 at 12:51
