iOS Question Share in specific apps

[hatzisn]

Hi all,

is it possible to share text to specific apps defined by me with ActivityViewController or any other method?

UDP to find a receiver, TCP for communication. 65000+ ports is more than enough.

No, I mean something like share to Facebook Messenger.

Native uiactivityviewcontroller has a property excludedActivityTypes. The list of activitytypes is defined in https://developer.apple.com/documentation/uikit/uiactivitytype?language=objc. As I understand, it's possible to exclude all unwanted services

Many apps define custom schemes which you can call with App.OpenURL.

I tried with the following

{In main page}
#UrlScheme: whatsapp
#UrlScheme: viber

whatsapp://send?text=Hello%2C%20World!"
viber://forward?text=Hello%2C%20World!

code (for viber and whatsapp):

    If Main.App.CanOpenURL("viber://forward?text=Hello%2C%20World!") Then
        Main.App.OpenURL("viber://forward?text=Hello%2C%20World!")
    Else
        hd.ToastMessageShow("App not present", True)
    End If

'And for whatsapp

    If Main.App.CanOpenURL("whatsapp://send?text=Hello%2C%20World!") Then
        Main.App.OpenURL("whatsapp://send?text=Hello%2C%20World!")
    Else
        hd.ToastMessageShow("App not present", True)
    End If

WhatsApp works, viber not
I looked for viber at: https://stackoverflow.com/questions...r-app-via-url-scheme-on-ios/43030670#43030670

For facebook messenger I have found the fb-messenger shceme but it doesn't seem to work and it only shares links as I've noticed in the relative pages.
For skype I have not managed to find a way to share text as the known uris in Stackoverflow are for calling only.

Anyone can help in this?

I did something similar 2 years ago. WhatsApp was alone, where it was possible to call by phone nomber and to pass a text.
Viber, Skype, Telegram, Messenger - maximum it was possible to activate wanted chat. More - some of them wanted UserId instead of phone nomber

    ' ExcludedActivityTypes'ı ayarla


    Dim no As NativeObject = avc


    no.SetField("excludedActivityTypes", excludedActivities)





    ' ActivityViewController'ı göster


    avc.Show(mp, mp.RootPanel)
