I'm developing share extension for my app. Every thing is fine, but i'm facing one main problem, my app is not in the share menu while sharing from photos app.

Below is the plist of my shared extension. enter image description here

It's not showing in the list, below is the screenshot:

enter image description here

But when i go to more option, set the switch of my extension off and on, now it is showing in the list, But i need to do it every time, below are the screenshots:

enter image description here enter image description here

Every time i ran the extension from X-Code, It's not showing the share menu, i need to go to more option, set the switch off and on again, then only it is showing. Can it show every time in the share menu? Is there anything i'm missing in the plist or extra configuration required?

I need your valuable suggestions. Thanks in advance.

Update:

I have checked it in iOS9. It's working fine without any issues.

For anyone having the same problem and not finding a solution, worth trying also to check "Deployment Target" of the extension.

It can be different that the main app and is setup by default when the extension is created.

In my case it was higher than what I had on my device.
