Share doesn't redirect to app (iOS)

[davidsalib]

I've tried with both the default Share popup, and a custom popup. In both cases, when I press "Post" or "Continue to App", the main app doesn't launch.

I verified that the HostAppBundleIdentifier and HostAppURLScheme are set properly in both the App and Share Extension Info.plist respectively.

Any ideas/advice is much appreciated!

Same here. More instructions on this would be much appreciated.

@davidsalib I noticed that on iOS for some types of files it does NOT launch the app at all. But when sharing an image for example it works. Did you manage to get it working with Android?

The instructions seem to be wrong and at least on iOS, the HostAppURLScheme requires the name to end with ://, e.g. if your app package is called myapp, then you need to use myapp://

@kubik369 Your solution works for me, thanks! BTW, do you know how could we directly share text to app without pressing "Post" or "Continue to App" in iOS ?

Hope to hear your expertise.

@lukelu0520 Hi, you should be able to open the app immediately when the user selects it in the share menu, you don't need to wait for any press as far as I know :)

@kubik369 Thanks for your reply:) I was wondering if you follow the example folder or the iOS instruction. Seems like there is discrepancy between them.

ps: Android works great, be able to open the app immediately when the user selects it in the share menu, but iOS has the issue.

@asadd-irfan same problem. Are you have solution for this?

@kubik369 have you solved it for you, to skip dialog on iOS ?

[kubik369]

@roman-myshchyshyn I wasn't able to get rid of the modal popping up for a split second (although I think it would be possible with some objective C/Swift skills). We have it currently set up so that continueInApp gets called immediately and that goes into the app :)

@kubik369 Can you please share the steps on how you did that? Thanks!

@teja2495 In case you still need it you can call ShareMenuReactView.continueInApp(); inside a useEffect with no dependencies so it happens on first render
