Is there a reason for using this custom popout share menu vs the standard IOS share menu?

Treehouse TeacherHi Kevin, that's a really good question. I'm trying to remember back to how I made that decision.
There might be situations where keeping the sharing experience consistent with your own brand is more important than offering users the familiar iOS menu. But you're right that the Sharing and Action extension, detailed in the Human Interface Guidelines here
https://developer.apple.com/design/human-interface-guidelines/ios/extensions/sharing-and-actions/
would in many cases make the most sense. I'll keep that in mind if an opportunity comes up to rework this course.
