Mastering ShareLink in SwiftUI 4.0: Check for Successful Shares

SwiftUI 4.0 introduced several exciting features, including the convenient ShareLink. But with new features come new questions, such as how to know if the content you intended to share has been successfully shared. In this guide, we’ll explore the solution to determine the success of a sharing action in SwiftUI 4.0.

Understanding the Issue

When using the ShareLink, developers often find themselves wanting confirmation that the shared content has been successfully sent to the intended recipient or application. This was a straightforward task in previous versions, but SwiftUI 4.0 requires a different approach for overcoming this hurdle.

Transition from SwiftUI 3.0

In SwiftUI 3.0, we could easily track the success of sharing by utilizing UIActivityViewController with a completionWithItemsHandler. Here’s a quick look at how that was done:

This code allowed developers to get a callback every time sharing was completed, so it was straightforward to take action based on that outcome.

A New Approach in SwiftUI 4.0

As we adapt to the new SwiftUI 4.0 with ShareLink, a fresh solution has emerged. Instead of presenting a ShareLink in a modally presented sheet, we can utilize it within a Menu. This change has an added benefit: the Menu automatically closes when the sharing action is successful! Let’s see how this works through an example.

Implementing ShareLink within a Menu

By replacing your sheet with a Menu, you can maintain the functionality you require while ensuring a smoother user experience. Here’s a simplified implementation:

Benefits of Using a Menu

The transition from a sheet to a Menu provides a more dynamic user interaction flow. Here are some key benefits:

Automatic Closure: When an item is successfully shared, the menu automatically disappears, enhancing user experience.

Cleaner UI: Menus generally have a less intrusive presence compared to modal sheets, leading to a more natural design.

Flexible Options: Menus can include more than one sharing option, making them versatile for different types of shareable content.

Conclusion

SwiftUI 4.0's ShareLink brings new opportunities for sharing content seamlessly within your app. Although the method for checking if a share was successful has evolved, using Menu instead of a sheet allows for automatically confirmed actions and a cleaner interface. By implementing the example provided, you'll ensure your users have an intuitive sharing experience while still being able to track the functionality of their interactions.

As you continue to explore SwiftUI 4.0, consider these strategies for improving your app's user experience and leveraging new features for optimal performance. Happy coding!
