Transfer iOS service from phone to macbook safari / chrome

I want to send a url from my application to open it in my laptop's web browser using handover. I have added an activity type to my application NSUserActivityTypes

. here is my code:

- (void)startHandoff {
    NSUserActivity *activity = [[NSUserActivity alloc] initWithActivityType:@"com.me.browse"];
    activity.webpageURL = [NSURL URLWithString:_wakeUrl];
    [activity becomeCurrent];
}

It doesn't seem to show up on my dock - do you need a special Activity Type

one if you want to use safari?

Ok after the tests, it seems like you need to declare NSUserActivity

as an instance variable:

So this doesn't work:

@interface TestViewController () {
}

@end

@implementation TestViewController

- (void)viewDidLoad {
    [super viewDidLoad];
    //init hand off
    NSUserActivity *activity = [[NSUserActivity alloc] initWithActivityType:@"com.app.browse"];
    activity.webpageURL = [NSURL URLWithString:@"http://www.stackoverflow.com"];
    [activity becomeCurrent];
}

- (void)didReceiveMemoryWarning {
    [super didReceiveMemoryWarning];
    // Dispose of any resources that can be recreated.
}

@end


But this works great:

@interface TestViewController () {
      NSUserActivity *activity;
}

@end

@implementation TestViewController

- (void)viewDidLoad {
    [super viewDidLoad];
    //init hand off
   activity = [[NSUserActivity alloc] initWithActivityType:@"com.app.browse"];
    activity.webpageURL = [NSURL URLWithString:@"http://www.stackoverflow.com"];
    [activity becomeCurrent];
}

- (void)didReceiveMemoryWarning {
    [super didReceiveMemoryWarning];
    // Dispose of any resources that can be recreated.
}

@end

I don't know why, although I'm studying it now
