Google API plus iOS API for share preloading data is out of date, which is an alternative

Question

I need to share text, url and image in google plus from iOS app. The Google plus sign is outdated, and only general sharing with text + url is available, which is similar to the iOS G + resource. But I want to share image, url, etc. With my iOS app. Is there any other way to share information with text on Google plus now.

The Google link supports two url parameters: urlfor the destination URL and hlfor the language code.

- (void)showGooglePlusShare:(NSURL*)shareURL {

    // Construct the Google+ share URL
    NSURLComponents* urlComponents = [[NSURLComponents alloc]
                             initWithString:@"https://plus.google.com/share"];
    urlComponents.queryItems = @[[[NSURLQueryItem alloc]
                                          initWithName:@"url"
                                          value:[shareURL absoluteString]]];
    NSURL* url = [urlComponents URL];

    if ([SFSafariViewController class]) {
       // Open the URL in SFSafariViewController (iOS 9+)
       SFSafariViewController* controller = [[SFSafariViewController alloc]
                                                                 initWithURL:url];
       controller.delegate = self;
       [self presentViewController:controller animated:YES completion:nil];
    } else {
      // Open the URL in the device browser
     [[UIApplication sharedApplication] openURL:url];
    }
}
