Question

I am trying to export a photo from my application to Instagram, using this code:

// Capture Screenshot
UIGraphicsBeginImageContextWithOptions(self.view.frame.size,self.view.opaque,0.0);
[self.view.layer renderInContext:UIGraphicsGetCurrentContext()];
UIImage * image = UIGraphicsGetImageFromCurrentImageContext();
UIGraphicsEndImageContext();
NSData *imageData = UIImageJPEGRepresentation(image, 1.0);
NSString  *jpgPath = [NSHomeDirectory() stringByAppendingPathComponent:@"Documents/test.igo"];
NSURL *igImageHookFile = [[NSURL alloc] initWithString:[[NSString alloc] initWithFormat:@"file://%@", jpgPath]];
dic = [UIDocumentInteractionController interactionControllerWithURL:[NSURL fileURLWithPath:igImageHookFile]];
dic.UTI = @"com.instagram.photo";
dic.annotation = [NSDictionary dictionaryWithObject:@"my caption" forKey:@"InstagramCaption"];
NSURL *instagramURL = [NSURL URLWithString:@"instagram://app"];
if ([[UIApplication sharedApplication] canOpenURL:instagramURL]) {
  [[UIApplication sharedApplication] openURL:instagramURL];
} else {
  NSLog(@"No Instagram Found");
}

But it is not working. It crashes with the following error:

2013-01-19 20:40:41.948 Ayat[12648:c07] * Terminating app due to uncaught exception ‘NSInvalidArgumentException’, reason: ‘* -[NSURL initFileURLWithPath:]: nil string parameter’

I am not sure I’m properly:

1- Saving jpgpath as the screenshot I took .

2- Passing the “dic” document to Instagram.

In my app, I have also export photo to Instagram. (Image must be larger than 612×612 size)
Try this code:

-(void)shareImageOnInstagram:(UIImage*)shareImage
{
    //Remember Image must be larger than 612x612 size if not resize it.   

    NSURL *instagramURL = [NSURL URLWithString:@"instagram://app"];

    if([[UIApplication sharedApplication] canOpenURL:instagramURL])
    {
        NSString *documentDirectory=[NSHomeDirectory() stringByAppendingPathComponent:@"Documents"];
        NSString *saveImagePath=[documentDirectory stringByAppendingPathComponent:@"Image.ig"];
        NSData *imageData=UIImagePNGRepresentation(shareImage);
        [imageData writeToFile:saveImagePath atomically:YES];

        NSURL *imageURL=[NSURL fileURLWithPath:saveImagePath];

        UIDocumentInteractionController *docController=[[UIDocumentInteractionController alloc]init];
        docController.delegate=self;
        [docController retain];
        docController.UTI=@"com.instagram.photo";

        docController.annotation=[NSDictionary dictionaryWithObjectsAndKeys:@"Image Taken via @App",@"InstagramCaption", nil];

        [docController setURL:imageURL];


        [docController presentOpenInMenuFromBarButtonItem:self.navigationItem.rightBarButtonItem animated:YES];  //Here try which one is suitable for u to present the doc Controller. if crash occurs

    }
    else
    {
        NSLog (@"Instagram not found");

    }

}

I hope this will helps you.
