In iOS there are several app extensions described here and I would like to know how to distinguish each type.
In my current project I have a lot of extensions without a descriptive name. How could i figure out what type of extension is each one of them?
I finally I figure out that I can check the type of extension in the Info.plist of each extension.
For example, these identifiers belongs to Notification Service Extension and Notification Content Extension respectively.
NSExtension -> NSExtensionPointIdentifier = com.apple.usernotifications.service
NSExtension -> NSExtensionPointIdentifier = com.apple.usernotifications.content-extension
Info.plist -> NSExtensionPointIdentifier
Action -> com.apple.ui-services
com.apple.services
Custom Keyboard -> com.apple.keyboard-service
File Provider -> com.apple.fileprovider-nonui
File Provider UI -> com.apple.fileprovider-actionsui
