Getting Started
To get started with OpenShare, follow these steps:
Step 1: Initialize OpenShare
First, you need to initialize the OpenShare library in your AppDelegate.m file. Add the following code inside the didFinishLaunchingWithOptions
method:
// Objective-C
[[OpenShare alloc] init];
// Swift
OpenShare.shared.initialize()
Step 2: Configure Social Platforms
Next, you need to configure the social platforms you want to support. Add the following code to your AppDelegate.m file, preferably inside the same didFinishLaunchingWithOptions
method:
// Objective-C
[OpenShare setWeiboAppId:@"your_weibo_app_id"];
[OpenShare setWechatAppId:@"your_wechat_app_id"];
// Add more platform configurations as needed
// Swift
OpenShare.shared.setWeiboAppId("your_weibo_app_id")
OpenShare.shared.setWechatAppId("your_wechat_app_id")
// Add more platform configurations as needed
Step 3: Implement Sharing
Now you can start implementing the sharing functionality in your app. Use the following code as a template:
// Objective-C
[OpenShare shareWithType:OSPlatformTypeWechatSession content:@"Your sharing content" completion:^(OSMessage *message, NSError *error, BOOL canceled) {
if (error) {
NSLog(@"Sharing error: %@", error.localizedDescription);
} else if (canceled) {
NSLog(@"Sharing canceled by user.");
} else {
NSLog(@"Sharing success!");
}
}];
// Add sharing functionality for other platforms as needed
// Swift
OpenShare.shared.share(withType: .wechatSession, content: "Your sharing content") { (message, error, canceled) in
if let error = error {
print("Sharing error: \(error.localizedDescription)")
} else if canceled {
print("Sharing canceled by user.")
} else {
print("Sharing success!")
}
}
// Add sharing functionality for other platforms as needed
Advanced Usage
In addition to basic sharing, OpenShare provides various advanced features:
Feature 1: Custom UI
You can customize the sharing UI elements, such as appearance and layout, to match your app’s design. Refer to the OpenShare documentation for detailed instructions and code examples.
