Are you using a custom group?

[amalshyjo]

Are you using a custom group?

No, i haven't used custom group i also used the following package - https://pub.dev/packages/receive_sharing_intent the result are the same

[jamescardona11]

@amalshyjo Sorry, I tested different ways and can't replicate it. I hope you can fix it.

[ShaggyGettu]

Hi @amalshyjo, having the same problem, are you maybe using different Bundle Identifier for every environment?

[gekosurf]

Have you added the group in your develop account settings? It needs to be enabled for the bundle. Also the share _intent needs a bundle name with an extension id of some sort:

• bundlename.somenewname

[amalshyjo]

sorry for the late reply, @ShaggyGettu no its a single bundle identifier for every environment @gekosurf i didn't full get what i should could you explain it more, as i do not have much idea about IOS development

[mny459]

<key>AppGroupId</key>
<string>group.myGroupId</string>

I had same problem. And I fix this by add top code to both Runner and ShareExtension Info.plist

[amalshyjo]

<key>AppGroupId</key>
<string>group.myGroupId</string>

I had same problem. And I fix this by add top code to both Runner and ShareExtension Info.plist

oh so create group id and connect to the app right, wait is this a custom group id @mny459

[mny459]

<key>AppGroupId</key>
<string>group.myGroupId</string>

I had same problem. And I fix this by add top code to both Runner and ShareExtension Info.plist

oh so create group id and connect to the app right, wait is this a custom group id @mny459

I am not sure which is custom or default group id. I am not a iOS developer. But I could tell you is I just replase <string>$(CUSTOM_GROUP_ID)</string> to my real group id, then everything works.

[MuhammedRefaat]

@ShaggyGettu I'm using a bundle identifier for each environment, any clue?

[amalshyjo]

<key>AppGroupId</key>
<string>group.myGroupId</string>

I am not sure which is custom or default group id. I am not a iOS developer. But I could tell you is I just replase <string>$(CUSTOM_GROUP_ID)</string> to my real group id, then everything works.

hey, tried and its still the same result, so the there is a zoom out animation and then then nothing there is not popup or anything.

[amalshyjo]

Are you using a custom group?

Currently trying to do using custom group id to check if that would work.

[Rishab-ms]

@amalshyjo did it work?

[udiedrichsen]

Not for me, I have a custom group.

[The-Nils]

nothing work for me for both custom and default group

[juanan-onelife]

hi! i have the same issue when the app is killed, i share the content and the splash screen flash and closed. Could anyone fix it?

Edit: I'm testing on physical device

[jasperbel]

I had the same problem on the simulater, but on a device it works.

Edit: could also be related to the iOS version (of the simulator?). I see @amalshyjo is using 16.2 in his sim, I was using the same.

[jsiedentop]

I had the same problem. I discovered that the Minimum Deployments for the ShareExtension was set to iOS 17.0. After I reduced it to iOS 14.0, it worked.

In Xcode: Targets -> ShareExtension -> General -> Minimum Deployments -> iOS 14.0.

I hope it helps.

Cool, this works for me on a real device but not on a simulator.

<key>AppGroupId</key>
<string>group.myGroupId</string>

我有同样的问题。我通过向 Runner 和 ShareExtension Info.plist 添加顶级代码来解决此问题

Thanks, although I am not a custom group, this method helped me solve the problem
