1 year ago Game token sharing has pretty much disappeared as an issue now that we are no longer requiring the use of server-generated totally random tokens. Any 12 character alphanumeric string will do and players can just agree in advance on the token they want to use.
The game token sharing currently relies on cut and paste which is more awkward on iOS than it is on a laptop. In the outbound direction we can use the standard share controller or some variation on it to originate an email to potential players. But, in the inbound direction, we may need a share extension to recognize a special URL for a shared game token and open the game with that token. I did this with Razor Puzzle. It's a good solution, but it's a bunch of work, because the share extension becomes like a second app that is bundled with the main one.
