UIDocumentInteractionController

I’m trying to send an image to Instagram, but I can’t find a way to do it on Corona.
The only way is using iPhone Hooks (http://instagram.com/developer/iphone-hooks/) url schemes, and the Document Interaction API (the ios api that allow you to open file in other applications).

Is it possible to use the document interaction api in corona? I’ve tried launching a system.openURL but clearly the sandbox does not allow the other app to read the file.
Any idea?
Thanks

Note: On the forum there are similar questions (regarding sharing on instagram), and one user said to use the API… FIY, Instagram has some API, but using the API to add a new image is not possible (see http://instagram.com/developer/endpoints/media/ “At this time, uploading via the API is not possible…”) [import]uid: 9158 topic_id: 32754 reply_id: 332754[/import]

Hi, I have the same problem, we need support for this, I had developed some apps and I need to share an image through watsapp. but i can’t do it!

You would need to use Corona Enterprise to use either of the options listed above.  Perhaps once we get the plugin marketplace setup, where our Enterprise subscribers could make plugins available, then they might be willing to create one.

There are way too many services for us to make tools for.  That’s why we encourage people to use our feature request site at:

And look to see if there is a request for this already and vote it up, or add a new one and get more community members to vote on it.

The document interaction API would be a fantastic edition to the corona sdk. Both iOS and Android have this functionality already, we just need corona to make an API for it. I am looking to send a photo to the instagram app via my app but corona doesn’t have this API yet :/ 

From an API standpoint, it looks like this would be extremely simple for Corona to implement. Please, please support this!
