Sharekit not showing Twitter, Email, TextMessage Options - objective-c

Question

I'm using ShareKit 2 on an iOS app for version 5 or later. I've got the app configured to use Facebook correctly, and when the action sheet is activated, that's the only option that appears. I want to use the built-in Twitter sharing system, but the option doesn't come up in the action sheet. Here's my code:
SURL *url = [NSURL URLWithString:launchUrl];
SHKItem *item = [SHKItem URL:url title:#"Title" contentType:SHKShareTypeURL];
SHKActionSheet *actionSheet = [SHKActionSheet actionSheetForItem:item];
[SHK setRootViewController:self.view.window.rootViewController];
[actionSheet showInView:self.view.window.rootViewController.view];
As per the instructions. I've got a custom DefaultSHKConfigurator class, in which I suppose these are the relevant methods:
- (NSString*)sharersPlistName {
return #"MySHKSharers.plist";
}
- (NSArray*)defaultFavoriteURLSharers {
return [NSArray arrayWithObjects:#"SHKTwitter",#"SHKFacebook", #"SHKMail", #"SHKTextMessage", nil];
}
Again, only Facebook comes up as an option. For completeness, here's my "MySHKSharers.plist" file (the relevant part):
<dict>
<key>actions</key>
<array>
<string>SHKMail</string>
<string>SHKTextMessage</string>
</array>
<key>services</key>
<array>
<string>SHKTwitter</string>
<string>SHKFacebook</string>
</array>
</dict>
So any ideas why I can't get Twitter, Mail and TextMessage to show up in the action sheet?

If you want to configure the sharers shown in the actionsheet I found this post helpful:https://gist.github.com/1181552
I ran into trouble getting actions (email, text message, etc) to show in the default actionsheet. My solution was to create a custom actionsheet and then to call Sharekit like this:
- (IBAction) getSharingSheet:(id)sender{
UIActionSheet *sheet = [[UIActionSheet alloc] initWithTitle:#"Share"
delegate:self
cancelButtonTitle:#"Cancel"
destructiveButtonTitle:nil
otherButtonTitles:#"Facebook", #"Twitter", #"Save to Photo Library", #"Email", nil];
[sheet showInView:self.view];
}
and then my didDismissWithButtonIndex:
- (void)actionSheet:(UIActionSheet *)actionSheet didDismissWithButtonIndex:(NSInteger)buttonIndex
{
switch(buttonIndex)
{
case 0:
SHKItem *item = //some item
[SHKFacebook shareItem:item];
break;
case 1:
SHKItem *item = //some item
[SHKTwitter shareItem:item];
break;
case 2:
SHKItem *item = //some item
[SHKPhotoAlbum shareItem:item];
break;
case 3:
SHKItem *item = //some item
[SHKMail shareItem:item];
break;
default:
break;
}
}
Hope this helps!

I had this same issue and just solved it. This may or may not be the same issue that you are facing.
After poking around a bit to see how the action sheet was being built, I found that in SHK.m it was pulling stored favourites out of NSUserDefaults.
+ (NSArray *)favoriteSharersForType:(SHKShareType)type
{
NSArray *favoriteSharers = [[NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults] objectForKey:[NSString stringWithFormat:#"%#%i", SHKCONFIG(favsPrefixKey), type]];
....
}
These stored results are preferred even over what you've defined as the "default" favourite sharing services. Clearing out these favourites solves the issue.
