IOS 8 iPad App Crashes When UIActivityViewController Is Called

Question

When a UIActivityViewController is called on the iPhone in this app, it works perfectly, but when called on a iPad, the app crashes. Below is the code I used:

Answer 1

There are two option, the action came from a UIBarButtonitem or UIButton that is a UIView.

func shareButtonPress() {

    ...

    if let actv = activityViewController.popoverPresentationController {
        actv.barButtonItem = someBarButton // if it is a UIBarButtonItem

        // Or if it is a view you can get the view rect
        actv.sourceView = someView
        // actv.sourceRect = someView.frame // you can also specify the CGRect
    }

    self.presentViewController(activityViewController, animated: true, completion: nil)
}

You may have to add a sender to your function like func shareButtonPress(sender: UIBarButtonItem) or func shareButtonPress(sender: UIButton)
