Ios swift – Share extension to Main target

I’m new to swift and I’m struggling to redirect from the share extension to the main application, I want to extract the image’s url and then use that in the main application.

I’ve tried instantiating the storyboard once I’ve got my url, but I can’t since they aren’t in the same target.

    you can use openURL: to send the url from share extension to the main application.

    call this function in view controller in share extension

    func openContainerApp(with url: URL) async {
    guard let items = self.extensionContext?.inputItems as? [NSExtensionItem], !items.isEmpty else {
        return
    }

    defer {
        extensionContext?.completeRequest(returningItems: nil, completionHandler: nil)
    }

    let selector = sel_registerName("openURL:")

    var responder = self as UIResponder?
    while responder != nil {
        if responder!.responds(to: selector) {
            responder!.perform(selector, with: url)
            break
        }
        responder = responder?.next
    }
}

    and main application can receive the url in app delegate func application(_ app: UIApplication, open url: URL, options: [UIApplication.OpenURLOptionsKey : Any] = [:]) -> Bool
