SwiftUI exporting or sharing files

Question

I\'m wondering if there is a good way export or share a file through SwiftUI. There doesn\'t seem to be a way to wrap a UIActivityViewController and present it directly. I\'

Most of the solutions here forget to populate the share sheet on the iPad.

So, if you intend to have an application not crashing on this device, you can use this method where popoverController is used and add your desired activityItems as a parameter.

import SwiftUI

/// Share button to populate on any SwiftUI view.
///
struct ShareButton: View {

  /// Your items you want to share to the world.
  ///
  let itemsToShare = ["https://itunes.apple.com/app/id1234"]

  var body: some View {
    Button(action: { showShareSheet(with: itemsToShare) }) {
      Image(systemName: "square.and.arrow.up")
        .font(.title2)
        .foregroundColor(.blue)
    }
  }
}

extension View {
  /// Show the classic Apple share sheet on iPhone and iPad.
  ///
  func showShareSheet(with activityItems: [Any]) {
    guard let source = UIApplication.shared.windows.last?.rootViewController else {
      return
    }

    let activityVC = UIActivityViewController(
      activityItems: activityItems,
      applicationActivities: nil)

    if let popoverController = activityVC.popoverPresentationController {
      popoverController.sourceView = source.view
      popoverController.sourceRect = CGRect(x: source.view.bounds.midX,
                                            y: source.view.bounds.midY,
                                            width: .zero, height: .zero)
      popoverController.permittedArrowDirections = []
    }
    source.present(activityVC, animated: true)
  }
}
