Facebook, Twitter icon not showing in UIActivityViewController on iOS7

Question

I have added this code for presenting a UIActivityViewController:

-(IBAction)activityAction:(id)sender
{
    UIActivityViewController *activityViewController = [[UIActivityViewController alloc]initWithActivityItems:[NSArray arrayWithObjects:@"Hello Welcome!",[UIImage imageNamed:@"scene3.jpg"],nil] applicationActivities:nil];

     activityViewController.excludedActivityTypes = @[UIActivityTypePostToFacebook, UIActivityTypePostToTwitter, UIActivityTypePostToWeibo, UIActivityTypeAssignToContact];
    [self presentViewController:activityViewController animated:YES completion:nil];
}

Facebook, Twitter and Weibo icons are not showing in iOS7. In iOS6, all the icons are showing correctly. See the screenshot below:

enter image description here

How can I solve this?

You're probably not logged in to Facebook or Twitter in the devices Settings. They won't show up here unless the user is logged in. File a bug with Apple.

Marty is right. Unless your credentials are not there in settings icon wont show up in UIActivityViewController in iOS7. Why did Apple do such change, so bad of them – Ankit Jain Sep 30 '13 at 09:32

Look at the name of the property excludedActivityTypes, you are excluding facebook, twitter, ...

activityViewController.excludedActivityTypes = @[UIActivityTypePostToWeibo, UIActivityTypeAssignToContact];

excludes only Weibo and Assign to contact

Test it on a real device – pNre Sep 23 '13 at 10:20
Facebook and Twitter won't show up on the simulator. And other options may show, but they won't work (e.g. Mail, text Message) – shim Jan 27 '14 at 23:33

Make sure that you don't exclude the Activities that you want to use. So, remove "UIActivityTypePostToFacebook" & "UIActivityTypePostToTwitter" from "activityViewController.excludedActivityTypes" object.

Also, Make sure that you are logged in into Facebook and Twitter accounts in order to post on respective social platform.

Please note that this is working on simulator and real devices.

Hope this helps you.

Your code,

activityViewController.excludedActivityTypes = @[UIActivityTypePostToFacebook, UIActivityTypePostToTwitter, UIActivityTypePostToWeibo, UIActivityTypeAssignToContact];

Change to this,

activityViewController.excludedActivityTypes = @[UIActivityTypePostToWeibo, UIActivityTypeAssignToContact];

And if you have to logged into facebook, twitter on your device settings. Then only it will be visible.

Thanks,

Don't include UIActivityTypePostToFacebook in

       activityViewController.excludedActivityTypes = @[UIActivityTypePostToTwitter,   UIActivityTypePostToWeibo, UIActivityTypeAssignToContact];
[self presentViewController:activityViewController animated:YES completion:nil];
