Hello @bayramaliunuvar , @debmezz , @venky9885

Please upgrade whatsapp_share package to 2.0.2 and let me know if it fixes the issue.

dependencies:
  whatsapp_share: ^2.0.2

The problem still persists, my friend.

I used the screenshot sharing code in the sample codes and it gives the following error.

Hey @bayramaliunuvar Can you try this function?

  Future<void> shareScreenShot() async {
    Directory? directory;
    if (Platform.isAndroid) {
      directory = await getExternalStorageDirectory();
    } else {
      return;
    }

    final String? localPath =
        await _controller.captureAndSave(directory!.path);

    await Future.delayed(const Duration(seconds: 1));
    if (localPath == null) {
      log("localPath is null");
      return;
    }

    await WhatsappShare.shareFile(
      phone: '911234567890',
      filePath: [localPath!],
    );
  }

1. also verify you have done the required setup https://pub.dev/packages/whatsapp_share#android
2. and have WhatsApp installed in the test device.

I found the problem, Whatsapp is not installed on my phone. Whatsapp business installed. For this reason, I was able to run it with the following code. Mandatory WhatsApp package needs to be specified

await WhatsappShare.shareFile( phone: FastMethods().whatsAopIcinTelDuzelt( _telNoController.text), filePath: [pdfPath], package: Package.businessWhatsapp);

[Amitpatil215]

If WhatsApp package not specified, default WhatsApp is used.

For more reliability, consider checking is WhatsApp or Business WhatsApp is installed in user's device or not.

Future<void> isInstalled() async {
    final val = await WhatsappShare.isInstalled(
      package: Package.businessWhatsapp
    );
    print('Whatsapp Business is installed: $val');
  }

Closing this issue! Feel free to comment otherwise.
