Hi @OutdatedGuy , I have the same problem as @qasimali09, so I'll take the liberty of providing some information:

After following to the letter what was indicated in the iOS installation process, when I share a video from the gallery, I am not brought back to my application. The gallery pretends to close, but nothing happens and no video appears in my project,I have no Xcode errors or logs when this happens.

I literally copied and pasted everything that was indicated in the installation, the only difference being in my use of ReceiveSharingIntentPlus in my project:

import 'dart:io';

import 'package:flutter/material.dart';
import 'package:logging/logging.dart';
import 'package:receive_sharing_intent_plus/receive_sharing_intent_plus.dart';

import '../services/navigation_service.dart';

class ShareIntentUtils {
  static File? sharedVideo;

  static late GlobalKey<NavigatorState> _navigatorKey;

  static Future<bool> initListeners() async {
    Logger logger = Logger('ShareIntentUtils');
    _navigatorKey = NavigationService().navigatorKey;
    // For sharing images coming from outside the app while the app is in the memory
    ReceiveSharingIntentPlus.getMediaStream().listen((List<SharedMediaFile> sharedFiles) {
      logger.info("Received mediaStream while app is in memory: ${sharedFiles.map((e) => e.path)}");
      if (sharedFiles.isNotEmpty) {
        onVideoReceived(File(sharedFiles.first.path));
      }
    }, onError: (err) {
      logger.severe("getIntentDataStream error:", err);
    });

    // For sharing images coming from outside the app while the app is closed
    List<SharedMediaFile> sharedFiles = await ReceiveSharingIntentPlus.getInitialMedia();
    logger.info("Received mediaStream while app is closed: $sharedFiles}");
    if (sharedFiles.isNotEmpty) {
      onVideoReceived(File(sharedFiles.first.path));
    }
    return sharedFiles.isNotEmpty;
  }

  static onVideoReceived(File receivedVideo) {
    sharedVideo = receivedVideo;
    if (Platform.isIOS) {
      _navigatorKey.currentState?.pushReplacementNamed('/publish');
    }
  }
}

Flutter 3.19.1 Apple M1 Pro

Hi @Nathanael-Rayapin, can you try sharing with images and pdfs? So we can narrow down to what exactly is causing this issue.

Also can you try the same on Android emulator and tell what happens? Thanks

[Nathanael-Rayapin]

Hi, so i tried to take images from the gallery, but neither the image nor the video would fit. On Android, the same thing happens, except that this time it manages to open my application.

[OutdatedGuy]

Can you provide your ios/Runner/info.plist and AndroidManifest.xml contents.

Edit: And also ios/Share Extension/info.plist.

Hi, you shared ios/Share Extension/Share Extension.entitlements instead of ios/Share Extension/info.plist.

But aside from that, I don't see any issues. Can you clean build the project again with;

flutter clean;
flutter pub get;
cd ios;
pod repo update;
pod install;

[ItsMeLucifer]

I experienced the same problem (On Android worked perfectly, on iOS the app didn't open). It didn't work on the iOS emulator, but when I ran the app in release mode on a physical device - It worked, so maybe the emulator is the problem.

[OutdatedGuy]

@ItsMeLucifer, thanks for the insights. I'm currently on the way to upgrade the plugin and solve many problems, however my new plugin code in not working on emulator.

I'll try it on a real device and see what happens.

[OutdatedGuy]

Hi, I'm not actively maintaining this package currently. Can you try with the receive_sharing_intent plugin instead?
