I'd like the ability for my app to receive images that a user can share on their iPad/iPhone. Is this possible?

I don't care what application the user is in, Alien Blue, Photos, Tumblr, etc... I'm just curious if there is an iOS default "Send To" that I could register my application to on install.

Here are examples I've seen across iOS, was curious if I could add my own app to this list somehow?

In iOS 8 you can add system-wide sharing options with extensions.

However, extensions are just a part you can bundle with your app.

  • So this isn't possible in iOS 7? – Geesu Jun 29 '14 at 00:59
  • No. in iOS 7 there is no possibility to add a custom sharing service as a system-wide option. – edwardmp Jun 29 '14 at 01:00

  • That has nothing to do with with the sharing menu. That has to do with showing your app can open a certain fileformat so it will be displayed in an "open this file in" dialog. – edwardmp Jun 29 '14 at 01:03
