Use

let coordinate = CLLocationCoordinate2D(latitude: 52.520007, longitude: 13.404954)
let vCardURL = LocationVCard.vCardUrl(from: coordinate, with: "Berlin")
let activityViewController = UIActivityViewController(activityItems: [vCardURL], applicationActivities: nil)
present(activityViewController, animated: true, completion: nil)
