Does this work with Pinterest?

[EddyVerbruggen]

Hi, thanks for asking, I don't mind dealing with it via the issues section. It beats mail, because now everybody can see this useful question. I may even add it as a FAQ to the readme.

On iOS you are limited to what Apple wants you to share to. There are only a handful options, like Facebook, Twitter, Weibo and email. They probably support LinkedIN as well in the future. But for now, no Pinterest.

On Android, it is indeed in the list of apps to share to, as soon as you install the Pinterest app (I just tried). And yes, you can even share to Pinterest immediately by using this as the activity name (the first param of the new shareVia function: com.pinterest.activity.create.PinItActivity (you can also just use 'pinterest', because the native code matches parts of the name as well).

Thanks for your response. That's great that it will work on Android. I guess for the time being I'll just have to write my own hook for pinterest. I appreciate your work. I'm attempting to integrate the latest version right now.

Let me dump my brain here, so some day maybe I'll add a shareViaPinterest function to the API. On Android, simply passing 'pinterest' should suffice, but on iOS, some nasty code like this needs to be added to the .m file:

Anyway, let me know what you end up using :)

Pinterest integration was really a bonus right now - Yeah, that is some pretty nasty code on IOS to get to that level of integration. Thanks for the response keep up the great work. I was able to get the direct integration of your code into my app in about an hour (the first part of it) -

Something to note plugman sometimes doesn't quite get the references correct. I think there is a step missing in the plugman integration that ios freaks out over. We experienced this problem with other plugins as well. I had to manually add the plugin (h & m files) to xcode using plugman. I think It may have to do with case names and dashes in plugin names.

Any update to this regarding IOS Pinterest?

Seems like on iOS Pinterest sharing is already works by default sharing dialogue.
