Sharing Extension in IOS8 beta

Question

I\'m trying to create a sharing extension using the new iOS 8 app extensions. I tried to get the current URL of a Safari site to show it in a UILabel. Simple enough.

You need to be looking for an attachment of type kUTTypePropertyList. Do something like this with the first attachment of the first extension item in your extension:

NSExtensionItem *extensionItem = self.extensionContext.extensionItems.firstObject;
NSItemProvider *itemProvider =  self.extensionItem.attachments.firstObject;
[itemProvider loadItemForTypeIdentifier:kUTTypePropertyList options:nil
  completionHandler:^(NSDictionary *item, NSError *error) {
   // Unpack items from "item" in here
}];

You'll also need to setup some JavaScript to pick up all of the data you need from the DOM. See the second extensions session from WWDC 14 for more details.
