Documentation about UIActivity:

“You should subclass UIActivity only if you want to provide custom services to the user. "

“This class must be subclassed before it can be used. "

So what? Kind of confusing.

Maybe it works like this:

NSArray *activityItems = @[ someUrl ];
UIActivityViewController *vc = [ [UIActivityViewController alloc] initWithActivityItems: activityItems
applicationActivities: nil
];

// If (and only if) one wants to provide custom services to the user, then applicationActivities must *not* be nil, but contain one or more subclasses of UIActivity

vc.excludedActivityTypes = @[ everything except UIActivityTypeAirDrop ];
[ self presentViewController: vc …];


My current problem:
The UIActivityViewController has AirDrop (as it should) but it also has some other things, which do *not* make sense for my app at all:
One row with:
Copy to Documents
Copy to Files
Copy to PDF Expert
… More (Where one can switch on “Add to Notes”)
and another row with:
… More (Where one can switch on “Save to Files” and “Save in LINE Keep”)

I really just want AirDrop and nothing else.
How can this be accomplished?


One final point:

iOS → macOS:
My iOS device can copy “someUrl” to the Downloads folder of the recipient. Which is kind of ok.
But is there a way to specify a more specific destination?
Like the Application Support Folder of some app?

iOS → iOS
Here the AirDrop should only be done to another copy of my app.
Can this somehow be specified?
