react-native-share: Share.shareSingle() throws unhandled promise rejection only on ios

Hi. this library is working fine on all cases on android but i am running into few issues on ios. My implementation of this lib is with a custom view component with icons when clicked will initiate the sharing process.

Environment:

"react": "16.2.0",
"react-native": "^0.53.3"
"react-native-share": "^1.0.27"

Using share as: import Share from 'react-native-share';

I have a facebook icon when pressed calls:

this.props.setTimeout(() => { Share.shareSingle({ ...this.state.shareOptions, social: 'facebook' }) }, 50);

Android produces desired behaviour however on ios i get the warning below.

I’ve same issue on iOS Simulator. It’s should be fixed like this:

Share.shareSingle(shareOptions).catch((err) => { err && console.log(err); });

Don’t just CC me. Do the work: instrument the code, find the problem, post a PR

@chathura88 Thanks for helping here. Really appreciate it.

I followed the installation carefully and completed it with no issues.

1.) npm i react-native-share --save 2.) cd ios && pod install

I am using Xcode 12.4, and I have iOS 14.4.2 installed on my iPhone XS Max.

Here’s my info.plist:

  <key>LSApplicationQueriesSchemes</key>

Understandably. I guess that solves the issue then. Thanks so much!

I was just asking if you have any news after 9 months, as the issue is closed

ksairi on Feb 2, 2021

hard to say that’s a snippet out of context. But I’d put anything “await” inside a try, with a catch and log the error, just like the comment above you.

@mikehardy yes, I’ve logged that. it was inside trycatch and that’s what I see Screen Shot 2020-06-21 at 5 58 30 PM
