iOS share extension works deficiently
(closed account) says:
Hi,
I recently discovered some flaws with the new iOS-Update, which covers the genuine share extension.
This extension only works in a few apps like Safari and the Unread-rss-reader. In some other apps (as with Mr. Reader, iCab, Reeder for example) it doesn´t work and furthermore causes those apps to freeze.
To escape from this state, you have to unload the affected apps from memory.
As far as I discovered, this behavior is exactly the same on iPad and on iPhone (with the most recent iOS-9.3.3-update)

Hi dlvv,
Thanks for letting us know about this! I’ve added this to our list to investigate. Sorry for the inconvenience.
It'd be great if you could let us know any other apps you're seeing this in so we can make sure we address all instances of this.
Let me know if I can help with anything else in the meantime too!

Hi dlvv,
Thanks for the comprehensive list! I've passed that on to our development team, and they already wrote back to ask that I thank you from them too—they're taking that and running with it. So thanks from the whole team! :)

Hi Dietmar,
Thanks again for your reports!
These issues should be fixed in version 4.1.3, which is now available. If you continue to experience any issues (or find any new ones!), please let us know. :)

Ooh, forgot to mention -- if there are any apps where it still doesn't appear to be working, please try killing that app and relaunching. This should clear any remaining weirdness. :)
