UIActivityViewController class is provide to sharing option to anywhere.

We can share the content in facebook and twitter.but for instagram sharing we have to use UIActivityViewController.

Import social like

import Social

Facebook : Share With Image,Content and URL.

@IBAction func facebookButtonShare(_ sender: Any) {
if SLComposeViewController.isAvailable(forServiceType: SLServiceTypeFacebook) {

    let facebookShare = SLComposeViewController(forServiceType: SLServiceTypeFacebook)
    if let facebookShare= facebookShare{
        facebookShare.setInitialText("Excellent development")
        facebookShare.add(UIImage(named: "myProduct.jpg")!)
        facebookShare.add(URL(string: "https://stackoverflow.com/users/4600136/mr-javed-multani?tab=profile"))
        self.present(facebookShare, animated: true, completion: nil)
    }
} else {
      print("Not Available")
}
}

Twitter : Share With Image,Content and URL.

@IBAction func tweetButtonShare(_ sender: Any) {
if SLComposeViewController.isAvailable(forServiceType: SLServiceTypeTwitter) {

    let tweetShare = SLComposeViewController(forServiceType: SLServiceTypeTwitter)
    if let tweetShare = tweetShare {
        tweetShare.setInitialText("Excellent development")
        tweetShare.add(UIImage(named: "iOS.jpg")!)
        tweetShare.add(URL(string: "https://stackoverflow.com/users/4600136/mr-javed-multani?tab=profile"))
        self.present(tweetShare, animated: true, completion: nil)

There is no need of library. What you need to do is:

1) Just import the Social framework.

2) Code to post on Facebook

let vc = SLComposeViewController(forServiceType: SLServiceTypeFacebook)
vc.setInitialText("Picture Text")
vc.addImage(detailImageView.image!)
vc.addURL(NSURL(string: "http://anyurl.com"))
presentViewController(vc, animated: true, completion: nil)

3) Code to post on Twitter

let vc = SLComposeViewController(forServiceType: SLServiceTypeTwitter)
vc.setInitialText("Picture Text")
vc.addImage(detailImageView.image!)
vc.addURL(NSURL(string: "http://anyurl.com"))
presentViewController(vc, animated: true, completion: nil)
