How to embed a URL in a string while posting on Facebook using UIActivityViewController?

Question

I want to share a URL on Facebook and Twitter using UIActivityViewController. The problem is the URL is very long. Can I give a hyperlink or shorten it somehow?

Answer 1

You can share URL itself the following way

NSURL *longURL = [NSURL URLWithString:@"http://..."];
UIActivityViewController *activityViewController = [[UIActivityViewController alloc] initWithActivityItems:@[ longURL ] applicationActivities:nil];
[self presentViewController:activityViewController animated:YES completion:nil];
