Share Menu in Yosemite and Widget Simulator
Posted November 2nd, 2014 @ 01:02pm by Erik J. Barzeski
Since installing Yosemite, my "Share" menu has failed to show many of the built-in sharing possibilities, including some of the Apple-supplied ones. These items would also not appear in the System Preferences ("Extensions" -> "Share Menu").
I've fixed it several times (steps below), and am adding it here so I can find it more easily.
Share button in Yosemite Safari not working, shows "No Service"
Basically:
- Open everything in
/System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/ShareKit.framework/Versions/A/PlugIns/
with an application called "Widget Simulator." - Click "Okay" or whatever to dismiss the dialog box that appears.
That's it. Doing this rebuilds an index or something somewhere and makes Mac1 OS X "aware" of the extensions it has to enable more sharing.
