Share button not working in native iOS android builds but works in PWA

Get Help
1

Hello All,
I have just published my app in native build Android and iOS.
I want to allow the user to share a picture from the app using the “share” action.
It should trigger the iOS or Android share panel for the user to choose how to share the picture (message, save etc…).

When the button is triggered nothing happens, the share panel is not triggered.
Nevertheless the share action works great when testing the app as a web app (PWA).

Contacted support, no luck. they have to communicate the issue to developers, but no timeline on when this will be solved.

Does anyone have same issue ? or maybe a solution ? thank you very much

I think the share action is only for text

Thank you Afonso for your feedback. But when using share action in the PWA version of my app I am able to share a picture.
Do you believe it has different behaviors for native builds. I’ll try to share text

Hello Afonso,
Indeed I have tried a build share text in iOS build and the share text works. Thank you !
Do you know if there is way to get the picture url and share it ?
Thanks

You can share only ‘string’ type of data it can be simple message, or in your case image url. Image url must be stored in your database.

Thank you Simonas, indeed the testing done seems to be inline with your comment.
Too bad there is no way to just send a picture. I will work with that.
Thanks again
