How to implement sharing suggestions in iOS Swift?

I am trying to follow this apple developer article to implement share suggestions in a sample iOS project.

I have followed these 3 steps exactly as described

  1. Added a share extension in my app.
  2. Declared support for the INSendMessageIntent intent type.
  3. Donated an INSendMessageIntent in app and its share extension.

In the below screenshot, we can see sharing suggestions from Messages app and one other app.

Sharing suggestions highlighted

The problem

Although I have followed all the steps as described in the article, my sample app is not showing as a suggested conversation when i try to share something.

Sample code

You can find the sample project on Github

What am I missing here?

Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

    1- First you must add your app in suggestions list from the "More" Options. ( Only if you are not seeing your app in apps row in the share sheet )

    2- Code Problem: You must provide a not nil image inside intent:

    INImage(named: "Image Name") // Won't work if image not exists.

    Problem:
    enter image description here

    Or, Skip Image like this to make it work:

    INImage(named: "") // Tested and working

    One Interesting test, When image name doesn’t have space, it works even if image doesn’t exists:

    INImage(named: "ImageName") // Tested and working

    You can see the working example here: Github

    Working:

    This project is only working in iOS 15.0 to iOS 15.5 but not in other versions like latest iOS 16.2, iOS 16.1 and other previou versions like iOS 14, 13.

    Can anyone run this project and make sure why it is not showing intent feature in latest iOS versions.
