I'm using this code, but it's not working, how can it fit it?
Anyone help? Thanks!
UIImage *iconImage = [UIImage imageNamed:#"Home01-A01.png"];
NSString *savePath = [NSHomeDirectory() stringByAppendingPathComponent:#"Documents/whatsAppTmp.wai"];
[UIImageJPEGRepresentation(iconImage, 1.0) writeToFile:savePath atomically:YES];
_documentInteractionController = [UIDocumentInteractionController interactionControllerWithURL:[NSURL fileURLWithPath:savePath]];
_documentInteractionController.UTI = #"net.whatsapp.image";
_documentInteractionController.delegate = self;

Hi You can share your file on WhatsApp using UIDocumentationView Controller, do the following to achieve the same,
In your viewcontroller.h file,
add Delegate for
UIDocumentInteractionControllerDelegate
declare UIDocumentInteractionController object like this
UIDocumentInteractionController *controller;
In your viewcontroller.m file,
add following Delegate methos for UIDocumentationView controller to track the status for success and failure
pragma mark - Delegate Methods
- (UIViewController *)documentInteractionControllerViewControllerForPreview:(UIDocumentInteractionController *)controller {
return self;
}
- (void)documentInteractionController:(UIDocumentInteractionController *)controller willBeginSendingToApplication:(NSString *)application {
NSLog(#"Starting to send this puppy to %#", application);
}
- (void)documentInteractionController:(UIDocumentInteractionController *)controller didEndSendingToApplication:(NSString *)application {
NSLog(#"We're done sending the document.");
}
add following code to share your file,
-(void)openDocument {
// here's a URL from our bundle
NSURL *documentURL = [[NSBundle mainBundle]URLForResource:#"chat" withExtension:#"png”];// You can set your filename and extention here
// pass it to our document interaction controller
controller = [[UIDocumentInteractionController alloc]init];
controller.delegate = self;
controller.URL = documentURL;
// present the preview
[controller presentPreviewAnimated:YES];
}
Note: the URL that you specify needs to be local.
The goal of the UIDocumentInteractionController is to share (local) documents
between applications.if your file is not stored locally then you can
achive this by storing the file in temp or local caching directory then accessing it from the
main bundle.
