**Description**  
Hi. I am trying to implement the screen share functionality into my app. I have followed carefully these instructions: [https://marketplace.zoom.us/docs/sdk/video/ios/advanced/screen-share/broadcast/#broadcast-the-device-screen](https://marketplace.zoom.us/docs/sdk/video/ios/advanced/screen-share/broadcast/#broadcast-the-device-screen)

I am able to select the ScreenShare extension from the broadcast picker but nothing happens when I begin broadcasting.

Also I have checked these tips [https://marketplace.zoom.us/docs/sdk/video/ios/advanced/screen-share/screen-share-troubleshoot/#nothing-happens-when-i-begin-broadcasting](https://marketplace.zoom.us/docs/sdk/video/ios/advanced/screen-share/screen-share-troubleshoot/#nothing-happens-when-i-begin-broadcasting)

**Errors**

**2023-03-13 21:00:10.677227-0600 ScreenShare[1293:189758] [User Defaults] Couldn’t read values in CFPrefsPlistSource\<0x2806e1100\> (Domain: group.W2BX7H5JCL.ProfeSantiScreenShare, User: kCFPreferencesAnyUser, ByHost: Yes, Container: (null), Contents Need Refresh: Yes): Using kCFPreferencesAnyUser with a container is only allowed for System Containers, detaching from cfprefsd**

I followed these recommendations [xcode - Failed to read values in CFPrefsPlistSource iOS 10 - Stack Overflow](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/38275395/failed-to-read-values-in-cfprefsplistsource-ios-10) but I can’t make it work.

Could you please guys help me with this?

**Screenshots**

I attach my group ids configuration and other useful screens.

Hi @fr4nky.develop3r ,  
The issue seems to be with the implementation of the Broadcast extension in Xcode, rather than the SDK itself. Try checking the following:

1. If the bundle ID of your main app and bundle ID of your broadcast extension is associated. For example, if your app’s bundle ID is xx.xx.xxx, then your broadcast extension ID must be xx.xx.xxx.{something}
2. Check if the App Group ID is still valid; you can check this on your Apple Developer Account portal

Overall, the error you’re seeing is a warning, but not the root cause of your app not working. Please let me know if checking these issues helps at all.

Thanks,  
Rehema

Hi @rehema.zoom  
I checked both bundle ID´s and they seem to be associated.

Main app: **org.reactjs.native.example.Profe-Santi**  
Broadcast extension: **org.reactjs.native.example.Profe-Santi.ScreenShare**

Also I made sure that my app group ID is valid.

I will keep trying and let you know what the issue was.

Thanks!!!
