Considering my app has a share extension that shows up on the share extension list when I select a few photos in the photos app, can I "LAUNCH" my app from there and pass the selected assets to it?

No, you cannot actually LAUNCH your app.

You can launch a view that looks like your app that is actually part of the share extension though, but it doesn't sound like that's what you want to do.

  • Yeah. I don't want an in-place view to be shown. I want to launch my application. Thanks Andy! – cakebake89 Dec 10 '15 at 19:10
  • Ya kinda frustrating in iOS that you can't do that, as you can in Android – Andy Obusek Dec 10 '15 at 19:11
  • It's really sad that after all of these years Apple still hasn't updated the Photos app or (the Mail app with image attachments) to allow you to open the images in 3rd party apps. I filed an enhancement request for this a few years ago - still waiting. – rmaddy Dec 10 '15 at 19:27
