react-native as an engine to drive share extension

react-native-share-extension's Issues

Debug menu doesn't show

Hi - thanks for creating this project. I have it all up and running, but I can't get the regular react native debug menu to show, pressing CMD+D or initiating the shake gesture doesn't launch the menu, the one where you can turn on Live Reload, turn on remote JS debugging.

Is there some way to make this appear? I want to be able to inspect elements and remote debug the react native view when it is loaded in the extension.

Thanks.

Opening video file freezes application

Environment
react-native: 0.45.1
release version
android: 7.0
ios: 11.1

Hi the ShareExtension has been working great for images, text & links, but seems to crash my application when opening a video. This happens on both iOS and Android, and it seems to stall on this line:

const { type, value } = await ShareExtension.data();

Any help would be greatly appreciated thanks!

Crash in production...

@alinz Hi man, sorry to bother you again.

Do you know or, have you heard someone talking about the crash when using Fastlane? I have added the script to build local on my device... at this point, everything is okay but, when I'm using Fastlane to deploy my app to the testers, the extension is not opening =l

What is the best way to debug it?

Ps. Odin, help me! 🙏 😂

On iOS: Native module cannot be null

Hi,

We're experiencing an issue with our iOS share extension (android works perfectly) where when we try to use the extension it seems that nothing happens. When checking the system logs we get an error saying "Native module cannot be null".

After that it says: Module AppRegistry is not a registered callable module (calling runApplication)

We are linking all of the libraries, as far as I can tell. Moreover, everything already worked fine before.

Any idea what might cause such an error?

Limited to fetching url of the website.

First of all brilliant work. I really found my starting point on this repo, I need to extend the functionality to support other item-types/intent-types in my share extension. any idea how to go about it? because I got your demo working in a heartbeat but then I saw that the type 'public.url' is hard coded in the native side of the iOS. And I don't have much knowledge on Android about this.

I am trying to get json data out of the webpage after being processed by my custom javascript file, as we do in iOS for safari share extension. please help me on this and I am also ready to contribute my time in developing this repo.

Waiting for your response.. :)

iOS, AppStore share

When i try to share from App Store, extension crashes with this error.
Very strange, because AppStore probably not sharing an image, but link.

#import "RCTBridgeModule.h" file not found

I'm receiving this error. What went wrong?

Take a look how is my Header Search Paths. It's a strange error because on my friend's computer it's working well.

Thank you.

Error after updating to RN 0.47.2?

Hi, i was this library working fine but some day (i think after upgrade React Native) this broke.

XCode build okey but when i share something from safari, camera roll or somewhere y have this error in console.

modal show on iOS only one time

Hello, I set up according to your steps, and then there was a very strange phenomenon,the modal box on ios can only show one time, the first time is normal, but after I call "ShareExtension.close()" function，evoke ShareExtension once again，only MyShareEx.m’s view appears the modal box no longer appears,
I have set “rootView.backgroundColor = [UIColor redColor];”,this is screenshots,

the first time, and the second time

Very strange, do you know why?
my english is poor, I do not know if you have understand what I mean。

Crash when sharing from the iOS 11 screenshot editor.

The following project shows an example of a app that utilizes react-native-share-extension to the simplest level: https://github.com/bluey31/ShareTest11

When the share extension is triggered from Photos, for example, the share extension persists and can be interacted with. Although, when the share extension is triggered from the iOS 11 screenshot editor (that is presented in iOS 11 when a screenshot is taken) the share extension crashes due to thanks from the line const { type, value } = await ShareExtension.data() (#60 ShareTest11Ext.js).

I believe the way you harvest the photo is having trouble dealing with the fact the image is mid-edit...hope this helps.

Brendon

npm does not have the newest version

I see on the repo that on the most recent pull request, the sharing an image functionality was added. It would be great to have the newest version on npm.

Thank you for this nice module!

Cannot close extension iOS

Couple of issues:

• My extension will not close once it is open. I doesn't appear that the native close method is being called at all, but I could be wrong about that.
• The background color is completely white, not transparent like in the example, but I've implemented the code like in the example.

I'm on React Native 0.5+
Thanks

Compile warning: Embedded binary's NSExtensionActivationRule is TRUEPREDICATE

I've just tried to install this for the first time. When I compiled I saw this worrying warning:

warning: Embedded binary's NSExtensionActivationRule is TRUEPREDICATE. Before you submit your containing app to the App Store, be sure to replace all uses of TRUEPREDICATE with specific predicate statements or NSExtensionActivationRule keys. If any extensions in your containing app include TRUEPREDICATE, the app will be rejected.

Not sure what it means though, or how to get rid of it but it looks important. Any ideas?

Possible docs problem

I think the section about Linked frameworks and Libraries could be improved (maybe!). It says to click on + and add all of the selected static binaries there. I did this but got a few compile errors. My project has loads of native libraries included and I think they were the cause of the problem. I removed them all and just kept the ones with names beginning with libRCT... and libReact and the compile was much happier.

Shared bundles issue

Hi. I need solution where my extension and main app will share same storage (use AsyncStorage). Guess shared bundles will help me achieve that?
Following the steps i stop on two issues:

1. cant find appShareExtension target's "Bundle React Native code and images" phase
2. what is cp-native-assets? script or?
   Thanks in advance

work with expo?

Hi,
react-native-share-extension work with expo (https://expo.io/) ?

Exception: Module AppRegistry is not a registered callable module (calling runApplication)

Hi everyone,

i am having trouble setting up the module for my iOS app.

I added a Share Extension to my existing app project through Xcode by applying all the steps from the Readme. I ended up with a "index.ios.js" file where i added the additional registerComponent() call for the extension (imported as "Share", i used the share.ios.js from the example). The Extension itself is called "ShareExt" in the "ShareExt.m"-Obj-C-file, my main App is called "QRSticker" and still works when started with react-native run-ios.

Here are the parts i added to my index.ios.js file:

AppRegistry.registerComponent('QRSticker', () => QRSticker);
AppRegistry.registerComponent('ShareExt', () => Share);

The main app still works fine as it has for a while. The extension however does not seem to be working. The extension itself is visible from the share menu in the simulator, but as soon as i touch the icon, the following error message occurs:

"undefined is not an object (evaluating 'RNFSManager.RNFSFileTypeRegular')",

The error that caught my attention is "Unhandled JS Exception: Module AppRegistry is not a registered callable module (calling runApplication)". That doesn't seem to be right. Since the Xcode-Part of the setup seems to work, i guess my React setup is the problem.

I am launching the app with react-native run-ios, go back to the Homescreen and then try to launch the Share Extension from the Mobile Safari.

Can someone point me in the right direction? :)

Imports failing in the MyShareEx.m file

I've tried three times to get this to work, being super careful to verify everything was exactly what the setup instructions wanted me to do. When I get to this point:
https://d.pr/i/BKJj6v

I get this:
https://d.pr/i/Zntfu6

If I comment out line 10, then line 11 fails. (Same story for line 12 if I also comment out line 11.)
https://d.pr/i/8W7qvb

Does anyone know what might be going on?
I'm using Xcode 9.1 and React Native 0.50.3

Thanks!

Memory limit issue on iOS

Thank you very much for this great library!

Right now i have only one issue. When i open and close extension, memory consumption only increase (double every time). After some reopens it crashes, because strict memory limits for extensions on iOS.
It's looks like when extension is closed it not freeing memory.

Maybe you have some ideas, how to force free memory?

Cannot resolve contact data on iOS

Hi All,

This awesome module is working greatly on URL-based content sharing. However, when I try sharing contacts (Contact -> pick up a contact -> share this contact), there is no url giving out. How do we suppose to receive contact data from sharing extension?

Thanks!

Dont show modal on iOS

Hi, thanks for this component.

On iOS i think all its fine configured but when i press on share to MyAppShareEx, nothing happen. It dont show any popup.

Some idea? If need some code of my config ask me and i will post it.

Thanks!

Crashing on iOS when sharing from specific apps

Hi!
First of all, thanks for the amazing package. Super helpful for our project.

I have everything set up and working on both android and iPhone. On android everything works perfectly and same is true for iPhone when sharing from chrome/safari.

But when trying to share from YouTube (and some other apps as well, e.g., notes) the share extension crashes with the next exception (I found on the console logs):

Exception '*** -[__NSPlaceholderDictionary initWithObjects:forKeys:count:]: attempt to insert nil object from objects[0]' was thrown while invoking data on target ReactNativeShareExtension with params (
6,
7
)

I have no idea what to do about this. Would appreciate any input :).

Thanks!

Help needed making Sample1 example works on Android

Hi,

I tried your example on Android and I did not succeed to make it work.
I have:

• "react": "15.3.1",
• "react-native": "0.32.0",

When I try to share either an url or an image, in the share.android.js, in componentDidMount function, ShareExtension is not defined. I got this error :

errrr TypeError: Cannot read property 'data' of undefined(…)

Do you know how to solve this error?

Android sometimes getting empty strings

On Android, every once in awhile the share extension send back to the js side a {type: '', value: ''} object.

From debugging this, it seems this happens for two possible reasons that both occur:

1. getCurrentActivity can return null

2. Sometimes the android intent type is null (Intent.getType()), even when the same share action is performed (sharing from chrome).

Any ideas?

Share file types

Hi,

Currently it's not possible to share PDFs in android as the files are checked for file type

https://github.com/alinz/react-native-share-extension/blob/master/android/src/main/java/com/alinz/parkerdan/shareextension/ShareModule.java#L59

I've added a check for application/pdf as well, but maybe there are other ways to detect if the share is file...

share image from chrome web page

get value file://null

and

uri.toString() is content://com.android.chrome.FileProvider/images/screenshot/1491884783726318722338.jpg

Crashing on iOS by FB Bolts lib

Hello, i am having a trouble with the share extension and other libs i hope to have an answer here.
When I open the extension it fails because there are missing libraries (the ones I use in the main app, such as google-sign-in, FBSDK, etc). If i add the missing libraries to the extension target,
Xcode will not let me build because "Shared Application" (used in Facebook Bolts lib) is not available in the extension.

log-ios if not include lib on target:

I'm doing something wrong?

Thanks!!

Sharing Photos / Sharing from Library Only

Hello! Thank you so much for doing such an awesome job with this extension.

Is there a way to allow sharing screenshots only and hide the extension for any other type of shares?

Also, I've managed to install the extension correctly but the Extension doesn't show up when I try to share an image from the Photo Library.

Thanks!

Import errors on build (iOS)

Hi,

I'm running into several import issues, while trying to create a build for iOS, for example: React/RCTBridgeModule.h file not found
I've tried everything from react-native 0.37.0 - latest.

Is there a version stack of react and react native you usually use for this app?

Thanks in advance!

Android - when show the app share, the area is with padding

How to Get Extension to Show up In Safari Share

Hey great work Alinz. I followed all the instructions for installation and the build succeeded. However I'm having trouble seeing the extension show up when I press "Share" on Safari on the iOS Simulator. I press "More" and see the only default apps of Facebook, Twitter, and Reminders. How do I make my extension show up there? Is there a particular file which I should double check to make sure is edited?

Question on communication with share.ios.js and app.ios.js

Actually, this isn't an issue, just wonder how you communicate with share.ios.js and app.ios.js. I want to pass the value to the app.ios.js when data received in share.ios.js.

I'm new to RN, have tried events (Emitter) and global variables but neither works.
I think these components have separate JS environment ?

Crashing when closing extension on Android

When running the following code in the Share Extension on Android:

close = () => { ShareExtension.close() }
...
render() {
...
<TouchableOpacity onPress={this.close}>
...

The app crashes with the error message:

undefined is not an object (evaluating '_reactNative.nativeModules.ReactNativeShareExtension.close')

Class won't launch react-native view

Hi there, great project.

I've added it to a react-native project and it works without issues on android.
Trying to use it in the iOS part, I have some issues starting the shared component.

The rootView gets inserted and i can change its background color, but it won't launch the react-native view.

I tried to reduce my index.ios.js to use a minimal <View> with some style, but nothing gets called inside the js module.

The xcode output complains that No bundle URL present.
Does anyone have any suggestions on what i could do to fix this issue?
The project is using latest versions of react-native and this addon.

opens host app instead of share extension

I've got everything working on the simulator, but when trying to test it on a physical device(with no dev server whatsoever), instead of opening the share extension, it opens up the host application.

Before this, it didn't opened anything and then i remembered to add the https://github.com/alinz/react-native-share-extension#test-on-device-without-dev-server.
Should this script be added to both host app and extension or just the extension?

Thanks in advance!

Usage problem with wix/react-native-navigation on Android

Hello, I've sucessfully used both libs together on [email protected] but after upgrading to [email protected], I encountered a new problem that I didn't have before:

To perform the upgrade I created a new react-native project in a separared directory, moved in the source files I wrote and reapplied all the manual integrations one by one (namely: rn-navigation, rn-share-extension and rn-swiss-knife), so we can assume there are no stale settings somewhere that didn't get properly updated. Also I used [email protected] with [email protected] and [email protected] with [email protected]

Now the problem is as follows:
For reasons that I don't fully understand, react-native-navigation changes the way the app is loaded by skipping the AppRegistry.registerComponent step and while before it didn't cause any problem, now "forcing" the execution of the main application makes the share extension crash.

myapp/MainActivity.java

import com.reactnativenavigation.controllers.SplashActivity;

public class MainActivity extends SplashActivity {
	
}

index.android.js

import { AppRegistry } from 'react-native'
import App from './src/app'
import Share from './src/share'

AppRegistry.registerComponent('MyShare', () => Share)

let app = new App()

The App instance, after some setup, calls Navigation.startSingleScreenApp and the main application starts. Without that line, the share extension works perfectly but the main application doesn't load (I get a white screen), but, with it, the share extension crashes.

On iOS this doesn't cause any problem even with the new version of react-native, it's something on android that has changed.
EDIT: Apparently it keeps working on iOS when building in debug mode, when using the release scheme I get the same error and also in this case the "fix" is to delete the new App line.

Is there any way of checking "who" whats to call "what" and only instantiate App when the user wants the main application? Or anything else that can be done to obtain the previous convenient behavior?

For reference:

Share media files with main application

Thank you for this great module. After some problems in the beginning I got it running very well!

Is there a way to share a media file (photo/video) with the main application? I set app groups for the extension and the application. Within the extension I added react-native-fs to get access to the filesystem. But I have no idea how to save the image to the shared folder and open it within my main application.

A workaround could be using your RNSKBucket and save the image as a base64 string, saving it while opening the app by writing it to the cache folder and clearing the bucket afterwards. But this seems a little hacky.

I am not really into Objective-C programming and I was wondering how to achieve this with react native, any other ideas?

Image sharing on iOS returns no data

Back in September, @parkerdan kindly contributed a PR adding image support, which was merged by @alinz.

After testing this on both iOS 10.1 and and 9.3, it seems that data() doesn't return anything when you share an image from the Photos app. Sharing a URL from Safari works fine however.

I know next to nothing about coding in Objective C. Looking through ios/ReactNativeShareExtension.m, I wonder whether the url variable isn't working as expected before it's passed into the callback, or if there's something else at play?:

react-native-share-extension/ios/ReactNativeShareExtension.m

Lines 83 to 90 in 907387e

	}else if (imageProvider){
	[imageProvider loadItemForTypeIdentifier:IMAGE_IDENTIFIER options:nil completionHandler:^(id<NSSecureCoding> item, NSError *error) {
	NSURL *url = (NSURL *)item;
	if(callback) {
	callback(url,[[[url absoluteString] pathExtension] lowercaseString] ,nil);
	}

Is there something else that needs to be enabled first for image sharing to work?

Does this support iOS 8 and iOS9?

Does this support iOS 8 and iOS9?

Any way to leverage this to create an action extension on iOS?

Android Build error "method does not override or implement a method from a supertype"

Hi @alinz -- I tried to start a fresh new RN project and use the extension, but when I attempt to build it with 'react-native run-android', I keep getting the error:

:react-native-share-extension:compileReleaseJavaWithJavac
:react-native-share-extension:compileReleaseJavaWithJavac - is not incremental (e.g. outputs have changed, no previous execution, etc.).
/NEW_RN_APP/node_modules/react-native-share-extension/android/src/main/java/com/github/alinz/reactNativeShareExtension/ShareExActivity.java:78: error: method does not override or implement a method from a supertype
    @Override
    ^
1 error
:react-native-share-extension:compileReleaseJavaWithJavac FAILED

Are you familiar with this error or how I might troubleshoot it? Thanks!

Published version is out of date (1.1.1)

Please publish the latest code to npm. The current version is v1.1.1 which is over 6 months old and doesn't include several changes such as plain text share. Thanks!!

Can the extension access the AsyncStorage of main application ?

In my app, to minimize the latency, I want to display options based on data in main application's async storage. Is that possible ?

How does the main application share data with extension ? Things like userid etc.

just a blank screen?

Hi @alinz and thank you for making this very promising module. however i have not been able to follow the instructions successfully. I can build the app but when i try to share from Safari it just shows a blank screen:

i know you might be thinking that i didnt link the class but I did:

any other ideas why this might happen?

also i have no idea how you add the modal, you hint at that in your README and you give some code in the issues but i dont know how to link from that to XCode.

Updates/corrections to README.md

First off, thanks for sharing this code -- I really needed it! As a relative newbie to RN, iOS and Android dev I followed your readme quite closely and noticed two corrections:

we need to add some flags as well, so search for Other Linker Flags and add -Objc and -lc++

-Objc should be properly cased to capital O and capital C: -ObjC (good thing there was a screenshot, but my eagerness to blindly copy/paste sent me down a debugging rabbit-hole for a day or so :) You only get an error indicating there's a problem if you run in Xcode with the extension as the target -- if you run with the app as the target, it fails silently.

Second, minor correction, in your code snippet for MyShareEx.m:

• now go back to MyShareEx.m and paste the following code there.

...
@interface MyShareEx : ReactNativeShareExtension
@end
@implementation MyShareEx
- (UIView*) shareView {
..

need to include 'RCT_EXPORT_MODULE();' in between '@implementation MyShareEx' and
'- (UIView*) shareView {' to read:

...
@interface MyShareEx : ReactNativeShareExtension
@end

@implementation MyShareEx
RCT_EXPORT_MODULE();
- (UIView*) shareView {
...

RCT_EXPORT_MODULE(); is in the actual file, but again, if someone copy/pasted from the readme, they would have missed it...luckily this was not a showstopper and did not break the module.

Sharing an image

So, sharing URLs from Safari or any in-app browser works really well!

How about other forms of content? Images, for example? I'm trying with an image from the simulator but ShareExtension.data() appears to just hang... is there any point where I can enable some form of debugging to try and work out what's going on within the ShareExtension class?

Help on getting share working on iOS

Sorry, this isn't an issue, but I've been trying for hours now. I've got the sample project working, but when I try and integrate this to my own it fails.

The problem is when I hit the share button in Safari, and then select my application, the modal popup doesn't appear. In fact, Safari becomes completely unresponsive. The only thing I can see is some activity happening in my node log, but nothing appears on screen. Safari doesn't become responsive again until I restart my app, even just killing my app leaves Safari in a broken state.

I can't even debug it - Chrome refuses to allow any breakpoints in the Share.ios.js file. And any breakpoints I add to my Share xCode project never get hit.

Any suggestions on how I can debug what's going on?

Question on communication with share extension and main app

Hi, thanks for this component.

On iOS all its fine configured and running, also I used the module react-native-swiss-knife to enables sharing the URL value between share extension and the main app (workes fine).

My question is: how can I notify about the new URL value and open the main app after closing the share extension?

Thanks!

macOS (OSX) share extension possible?

Is it possible to run this on macOS as well? I haven't found any node share extensions yet for macOS.
