I'm facing an issue related to the UIActivityViewController with Edit Actions title.

It shows SHARE_SHEET_EDIT_ACTIONS_BUTTON_TITLE instead of Edit Actions..

Findings:

Working fine in the other apps such as WhatsApp and Instagram.
The same code is working fine in the newly created iOS apps.
Tested in iOS 15.0 and iOS 14.0+ using Xcode Version 13.1.
Tested on both Device and Simulators.

Notes:

App is using Localization (Bahasa Langauge)
The project is in ObjectiveC and created before 3 years.

Code:

NSString* shareText = @"Sharing an eddress with you";
NSURL *website = [NSURL URLWithString:@"http://eddress.co/EDDRSS"];
NSArray *shareArray = @[shareText, website];
UIActivityViewController *activityVC = [[UIActivityViewController alloc] initWithActivityItems:shareArray applicationActivities:nil];
[activityVC setValue:@"Someone shared an eddress with you" forKey:@"subject"];
NSArray *excludeActivities = @[UIActivityTypeAirDrop, UIActivityTypePrint, UIActivityTypeAssignToContact, UIActivityTypeSaveToCameraRoll, UIActivityTypeAddToReadingList, UIActivityTypePostToFlickr, UIActivityTypePostToVimeo];
activityVC.excludedActivityTypes = excludeActivities;
[self presentViewController:activityVC animated:YES completion:nil];

Any help on this is highly appreciated.

Finally I found the root cause and solution for this. All was happened due to the Localization

Below code is the real culprit.

#pragma mark - Method Swizzling
- (NSString *)customLocaLizedStringForKey:(NSString *)key value:(NSString *)value table:(NSString *)tableName {
    NSBundle*bundle = [BundleLocalization sharedInstance].localizationBundle;
    return [bundle customLocaLizedStringForKey:key value:value table:tableName];
}

This returns SHARE_SHEET_EDIT_ACTIONS_BUTTON_TITLE instead of Edit Actions..

See the below Log

key:SHARE_SHEET_EDIT_ACTIONS_BUTTON_TITLE value: tableName:Localizable
return: SHARE_SHEET_EDIT_ACTIONS_BUTTON_TITLE
key:SHARE_SHEET_EDIT_SECTION_TITLE_FAVORITES value: tableName:Localizable
return: SHARE_SHEET_EDIT_SECTION_TITLE_FAVORITES
key:SHARE_SHEET_EDIT_ACTIONS_BUTTON_TITLE value: tableName:Localizable
return: SHARE_SHEET_EDIT_ACTIONS_BUTTON_TITLE
key:Copy[Activity] value:Copy tableName:Localizable
return: Copy
key:SHARE_SHEET_EDIT_ACTIONS_BUTTON_TITLE value: tableName:Localizable
return: SHARE_SHEET_EDIT_ACTIONS_BUTTON_TITLE
key:SHARE_SHEET_DEFAULTS_REMOVE_BUTTON_TITLE value: tableName:Localizable
return: SHARE_SHEET_DEFAULTS_REMOVE_BUTTON_TITLE
key:Copy[Activity] value:Copy tableName:Localizable
return: Copy
key:SHARE_SHEET_EDIT_SECTION_TITLE_OTHER value: tableName:Localizable
return: SHARE_SHEET_EDIT_SECTION_TITLE_OTHER
key:SHARE_SHEET_EDIT_ACTIONS_BUTTON_TITLE value: tableName:Localizable
return: SHARE_SHEET_EDIT_ACTIONS_BUTTON_TITLE

Temporary Solution:

#pragma mark - Method Swizzling

- (NSString *)customLocaLizedStringForKey:(NSString *)key value:(NSString *)value table:(NSString *)tableName {
    if ([key isEqualToString:@"SHARE_SHEET_EDIT_ACTIONS_BUTTON_TITLE"]) {
        return @"Edit Actions...";
    }
    else if ([key isEqualToString:@"SHARE_SHEET_EDIT_SECTION_TITLE_FAVORITES"]) {
        return @"Favorites";
    }
    else if ([key isEqualToString:@"SHARE_SHEET_EDIT_SECTION_TITLE_OTHER"]) {
        return @"Other Actions";
    }
    else if ([key isEqualToString:@"SHARE_SHEET_EDIT_SECTION_TITLE_SUGGESTIONS"]) {
        return @"Suggestions";
    }
    else if ([key isEqualToString:@"SHARE_SHEET_DEFAULTS_REMOVE_BUTTON_TITLE"]) {
        return @"Remove";
    }
    else {
        NSBundle *bundle = [BundleLocalization sharedInstance].localizationBundle;
        return [bundle customLocaLizedStringForKey:key value:value table:tableName];
    }
}
