How to share docs/pdf files from my files(iOS) in to myApp

Question

I want to share files to my Swift app via UIActivityViewController. I tried:

UIFileSharingEnabled 
and 
<key>NSExtension</key>
<dict>
    <key>NSExtensionAttributes</key>
    <dict>
        <key>NSExtensionActivationRule</key>
        <dict>
            <key>NSExtensionActivationSupportsImageWithMaxCount</key>
            <integer>1</integer>
        </dict>
    </dict>
    <key>NSExtensionMainStoryboard</key>
    <string>MainInterface</string>
    <key>NSExtensionPointIdentifier</key>
    <string>com.apple.ui-services</string>
</dict>

when user tap to share any file from "My Files" app I want to show my app under UIActivityViewController and when user tap on my App i want to open that document in my App.

You're trying to share docs / PDF's but your NSExtensionActivationRule dictionary has an NSExtensionActivationSupportsImageWithMaxCount entry.

Can you change this to NSExtensionActivationSupportsFileWithMaxCount and see if this works (this is the documentation that I am referring to).

I'm sorry I cannot give a more categorical answer because your question is sort of unclear to me. If this doesn't help, could you clarify the below things:

By "My Files app" are you referring to the Apple's 'Files' app, or is it a different 3rd-party app, or is it another app that you have built / are building?
With your existing config (NSExtensionActivationSupportsImageWithMaxCount key) what is the behaviour you observe?
Does the behaviour change when you use the NSExtensionActivationSupportsFileWithMaxCount key?

Hope this helps you.

Thank you for reply i have to share from Apple's my files to My own app. — mahesh, Jan 26 '23 at 07:10
