react-native-share-menu: Build failing for IOS- 'sharedApplication' is unavailable: not available on iOS (App Extension) and openURL' is unavailable: not available on iOS (App Extension)

First of all thanks for the awesome library.

I just updated the library to the latest version as now it also supports ios share extension and the documentation is well defined.

So, I checked the latest version on Android, and it’s working fine without any hassle.

I tried to implement the same for IOS and followed each point mentioned in doc for ios. Now after doing everything, When I tried to build the ios app it failed.

'sharedApplication' is unavailable: not available on iOS (App Extension)
'openURL' is unavailable: not available on iOS (App Extension)

For ShareExtension I’ve set Require Only App-Extension Safe API in build settings to NO

AppDelegate.m

#import "AppDelegate.h"
#import <RNShareMenu/ShareMenuManager.h>


#import <React/RCTBridge.h>
#import <React/RCTBundleURLProvider.h>
#import <React/RCTRootView.h>

@implementation AppDelegate

- (BOOL)application:(UIApplication *)app
        openURL:(NSURL *)url
        options:(NSDictionary<UIApplicationOpenURLOptionsKey,id> *)options
{
  return [ShareMenuManager application:app openURL:url options:options];
}

- (NSURL *)sourceURLForBridge:(RCTBridge *)bridge
{
#if DEBUG
  return [[RCTBundleURLProvider sharedSettings] jsBundleURLForBundleRoot:@"index" fallbackResource:nil];
#else
  return [[NSBundle mainBundle] URLForResource:@"main" withExtension:@"jsbundle"];
#endif
}

I’ve found a workaround to fix the the Apple Mach-O Linker error problem. Create a swift file in project and when prompted to create a bridging file select yes. Re-build the project again and it builds successfully. For more info refer https://stackoverflow.com/questions/52536380/why-linker-link-static-libraries-with-errors-ios/61582562#61582562

@Gustash, Sure I’ll create and share a repo that reproduces this issue.
