Question

I am currently developing an iOS application containing a Share extension.

I realized that the NSExtensionActivationSupportsImageWithMaxCount key doesn\

What I ended up doing is 1) allowing TRUEPREDICATE temporarily, and using some logic like this`

    NSExtensionItem *item = extensionContext.inputItems.firstObject;

    if ( item )
    {
        NSItemProvider *itemProvider = item.attachments.firstObject;

        if ( itemProvider )
        {
            NSArray *registeredTypeIdentifiers = itemProvider.registeredTypeIdentifiers;
            NSLog( @"registeredTypeIdentifiers: %@", registeredTypeIdentifiers );
        }
     }`

This will give you all the types of the document you want to share (example: "public.url"). Because of the multiple types, my predicate became a little complex:

SUBQUERY (
                extensionItems,
                $extensionItem,
                SUBQUERY (
                $extensionItem.attachments,
                $attachment,

                (
                           ANY $attachment.registeredTypeIdentifiers UTI-CONFORMS-TO "com.adobe.pdf"
                        || ANY $attachment.registeredTypeIdentifiers UTI-CONFORMS-TO "public.image"
                        || ANY $attachment.registeredTypeIdentifiers UTI-CONFORMS-TO "public.plain-text"
                        || ANY $attachment.registeredTypeIdentifiers UTI-CONFORMS-TO "public.png"
                        || ANY $attachment.registeredTypeIdentifiers UTI-CONFORMS-TO "public.jpeg"
                        || ANY $attachment.registeredTypeIdentifiers UTI-CONFORMS-TO "public.jpeg-2000"
                        || ANY $attachment.registeredTypeIdentifiers UTI-CONFORMS-TO "public.tiff"
                        || ANY $attachment.registeredTypeIdentifiers UTI-CONFORMS-TO "com.compuserve.gif"
                        || ANY $attachment.registeredTypeIdentifiers UTI-CONFORMS-TO "com.microsoft.bmp"
                        || ANY $attachment.registeredTypeIdentifiers UTI-CONFORMS-TO "com.microsoft.word.doc"
                        || ANY $attachment.registeredTypeIdentifiers UTI-CONFORMS-TO "org.openxmlformats.wordprocessingml.document"
                        || ANY $attachment.registeredTypeIdentifiers UTI-CONFORMS-TO "public.comma-separated-values-text"
                )
                AND
                (
                     NOT ( ANY $attachment.registeredTypeIdentifiers UTI-CONFORMS-TO "com.adobe.photoshop-image" )
                )

    ).@count == $extensionItem.attachments.@count
).@count == 1

This basically looks for any file type for image (other than adobe psd), pdf, txt, csv or doc/docx. It also only allows 1 document to be shared at a time.

It looks like kUTTypeImage includes PSD - hence my blocking of that format ( "com.adobe.photoshop-image" ).
