BroadcastUploadExtensionHelper: Finish Screen Sharing Gracefully
A Swift package that exposes a simple API to terminate a ReplayKit broadcast upload extension without triggering the default error alert.
When you’re building a ReplayKit broadcast upload extension you normally call finishBroadcastWithError(_:)
to end the screen share. Because you can’t pass nil
, ReplayKit pops up an error alert that you don’t want.
I created BroadcastUploadExtensionHelper
to save you time. It’s a tiny Swift package with a lightweight Objective-C helper so your RPBroadcastSampleHandler
can exit gracefully—no bridging header required. Grab it here: https://github.com/mehmetbaykar/BroadcastUploadExtensionHelper
Add the package to your Package.swift
file at version 1.0.0
:
1
.package(url: "https://github.com/mehmetbaykar/BroadcastUploadExtensionHelper", from: "1.0.0")
Then simply import the package in your extension target:
1
import BroadcastUploadExtensionHelper
From your RPBroadcastSampleHandler
subclass you can end the broadcast like this:
1
2
sampleHandler.finishGracefully() // End normally without an alert
sampleHandler.finishWithError(message: "Oops") // End with a custom error alert
This package does the boilerplate Objective‑C work for you so you can finish a broadcast without unexpected alerts or add your own custom message when something goes wrong.
