How do I create share sheets and custom activities on tvOS using Swift?

Creating share sheets and custom activities on tvOS involves leveraging the UIKit framework, particularly the UIActivityViewController for sharing capabilities. As tvOS supports sharing functionalities, you can customize the sharing experience with custom activity types.

Example of Creating Share Sheets and Custom Activities on tvOS

import UIKit // Define a custom activity class class MyCustomActivity: UIActivity { override var activityCategory: UIActivity.Category { return .share } override var activityType: UIActivity.ActivityType? { return UIActivity.ActivityType("com.example.mycustomactivity") } override var activityTitle: String? { return "My Custom Activity" } override var activityImage: UIImage? { return UIImage(named: "customActivityImage") } override func canPerform(withActivityItems activityItems: [Any]) -> Bool { // Determine if the activity can handle the items return activityItems.contains { item in // Check for the specific type of data you're interested in return item is String } } override func prepare(withActivityItems activityItems: [Any]) { // Prepare your activity for the items } override func perform() { // Perform the custom sharing action activityDidFinish(true) } } // Presenting the share sheet func shareContent() { let itemsToShare = ["Check out this link!"] let activityViewController = UIActivityViewController(activityItems: itemsToShare, applicationActivities: [MyCustomActivity()]) // Present the activity view controller if let topController = UIApplication.shared.keyWindow?.rootViewController { topController.present(activityViewController, animated: true, completion: nil) } }
