My answer is using for doing this with UIDocumentInteractionController.

I begin by instantiating a UIDocumentInteractionController at the top of my class

var controller = UIDocumentInteractionController()

Then I link up an IBAction to a share button on my nib or Storyboard:

@IBAction func SHARE(_ sender: Any) {
    let dirPath: String = NSSearchPathForDirectoriesInDomains(.documentDirectory,
                                                      .userDomainMask,
                                                      true)[0]
    let recordingName = UserDefaults.standard.string(forKey: "recordingName")
    let pathArray: [String] = [dirPath, recordingName!]
    let filePathString: String = pathArray.joined(separator: "/")
    controller = UIDocumentInteractionController(url: NSURL(fileURLWithPath: filePathString) as URL)
    controller.presentOpenInMenu(from: CGRect.zero,
                                 in: self.view,
                                 animated: true)     
}
