Comment on New Kicksend App Enables True File Sharing on the iPhone

Comments

So, the "Open in Kicksend" option in other apps -- this needs to be explicitly coded into the app, doesn't it? I'm not too familiar with iOS, hence the question.

I believe it's a native UI control so you just need to have the Kicksend app installed to see the option in apps.

I very much doubt it's the case. Can anyone confirm this for sure because it makes a HUGE principal difference? It's one thing needing to talk other app developers to integrate with your app, and another - to get the integration for free and with very little effort.

Looks like you just have to register the right file types: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3981199/adding-open-in-op...

It's pretty much the equivalent of having your App in the "Open with.." section of the right-click context menu on a desktop OS.
