Sharing a local image on Google+

Has anyone tried to use the code here: https://developers.google.com/+/mobile/ios/share/basic-share

My impression is that it makes it possible to share a URL publicly available on the net, but not a URL to a local image (that I would like to share). I hope someone will tell me I am wrong and show me why.

When I try it in order to share an image on Google+, it complains with a message saying: "That link is invalid"

I use this kind of code to make the local URL (as I always do): let imageURL = NSURL(string: “MY_LOCAL_URL”

As per documentation there are only 2 params available URL and Language Code.

So for displaying image, it will require to upload image on server, then use that URL.

I wanted to put some text also along with URL, but no documented param available. "text" param is working, but can stop work anytime.

I used this code way back in Google share and its working.

let shareBuilder = GPPShare.sharedInstance().nativeShareDialog()
GPPShare.sharedInstance().delegate = self

//URL Share
shareBuilder.setURLToShare(NSURL(string: "http://images.all-free-download.com/images/graphiclarge/daisy_pollen_flower_220533.jpg"))

//Prefilling Text    
shareBuilder.setPrefillText("Hi hello")

shareBuilder.open()

The URL image I entered is live on internet. Go to your Google + account and see the image is shared.

For sharing a local image we can use this

shareBuilder.attachImage(UIImage(named: "yourImage.png"))

rather than using setURLToShare

There are other methods in which you can attach a video too.

enter image description here

I have checked the code for attachImage and its working fine.
