Fixes #23685.

  • Remove "title" and "summary" from the shared content
  • Update Safari icon to use the modern one from SF symbols
  • Remove the "Copy Link" action as "Copy" now does the same
  • Make post title selectable (long-press to "Copy")

To test:

Regression Notes

  1. Potential unintended areas of impact

  2. What I did to test those areas of impact (or what existing automated tests I relied on)

  3. What automated tests I added (or what prevented me from doing so)

PR submission checklist:

  • I have completed the Regression Notes.
  • I have considered adding unit tests for my changes.
  • I have considered adding accessibility improvements for my changes.
  • I have considered if this change warrants user-facing release notes and have added them to RELEASE-NOTES.txt if necessary.

Testing checklist:

  • WordPress.com sites and self-hosted Jetpack sites.
  • Portrait and landscape orientations.
  • Light and dark modes.
  • Fonts: Larger, smaller and bold text.
  • High contrast.
  • VoiceOver.
  • Languages with large words or with letters/accents not frequently used in English.
  • Right-to-left languages. (Even if translation isn’t complete, formatting should still respect the right-to-left layout)
  • iPhone and iPad.
  • Multi-tasking: Split view and Slide over. (iPad)

Changes look sound to me. The functionality performed as expected when I tested them on an iPhone SE running iOS 18.0. 🚀

A few notes for future improvements in a separate PR:

  • We might use the post title to populate fields in other apps—e.g., title in Reminders, subject in Mail.
  • There is an odd animation that occurs in the menu located in the top-right corner when opening/closing the share sheet (video below).

Noting there are failing CI checks currently. Also, feel free to await further feedback from more experienced iOS developers, if you'd like.

Thanks for the quick review!

We might use the post title to populate fields in other apps—e.g., title in Reminders, subject in Mail.

We are still using the title for this purpose:

        if let str = title {
            controller.setValue(str, forKey: "subject")
        }

When I test sharing to the Mail app, it does populate the subject.

Got some flaky tests.

When I test sharing to the Mail app, it does populate the subject.

Ah, good to hear.

I do not have Mail set up on my testing device, so I only tested Reminders and presumed Mail would also not function. When sharing to Reminders from the Jetpack app, the new entity name is "Reader." In contrast, Safari sets the new entity title to the post title. It could be that most other apps "just work" like your experience with Mail.
