MASTG-KNOW-0081: UIActivity Sharing

Starting on iOS 6 it is possible for third-party apps to share data (items) via specific mechanisms like AirDrop, for example. From a user perspective, this feature is the well-known system-wide "Share Activity Sheet" that appears after clicking on the "Share" button.

The available built-in sharing mechanisms (aka. Activity Types) include:

• airDrop
• assignToContact
• copyToPasteboard
• mail
• message
• postToFacebook
• postToTwitter

A full list can be found in UIActivity.ActivityType. If not considered appropriate for the app, the developers have the possibility to exclude some of these sharing mechanisms.
