Answer 1

Try this This is working for me!!!

@IBAction func btnExport(sender: AnyObject)
{

    print("Export")
    let someText:String = "Hello want to share text also"
    let objectsToShare:UIImage = self.imgView.image!
    let sharedObjects:[AnyObject] = [objectsToShare,someText]
    let activityViewController = UIActivityViewController(activityItems : sharedObjects, applicationActivities: nil)
    activityViewController.popoverPresentationController?.sourceView = self.view

    activityViewController.excludedActivityTypes = [ UIActivityTypeAirDrop, UIActivityTypePostToFacebook,UIActivityTypePostToTwitter]

    self.presentViewController(activityViewController, animated: true, completion: nil)
}

Below is UIActivityViewController code is working for me. also attached screen shot for both the methods.

 func shareImage() {
            let img = UIImage(named: "SoSampleImage")
            let messageStr = "Ketan SO"
            let activityViewController:UIActivityViewController = UIActivityViewController(activityItems:  [img!, messageStr], applicationActivities: nil)
            activityViewController.excludedActivityTypes = [UIActivityTypePrint, UIActivityTypePostToWeibo, UIActivityTypeCopyToPasteboard, UIActivityTypeAddToReadingList, UIActivityTypePostToVimeo]
            self.presentViewController(activityViewController, animated: true, completion: nil)
        }

Screen shot for UIActivityViewController example :

Alternative Using SLComposeViewController :

func share(){
        let img = UIImage(named: "SoSampleImage")
        let composeSheet = SLComposeViewController(forServiceType: SLServiceTypeFacebook)
        composeSheet.setInitialText("Hello, Ketan!")
        composeSheet.addImage(img)
        self.presentViewController(composeSheet, animated: true, completion: nil)
    }

Do let me know if you have any query.

I achieve this with the help of VisualActivityViewController which is present in this GitHub repository

It gives me a nice, custom view as well--one that shows the user both the text and image that the user is going to share.
