I attempted to share a content and link on Instagram, but encountered an error stating, "Can't send media - Try copying and sending the link instead."

Could someone assist me in sharing text and a link through the Instagram iOS app?

I've test with other dependencies but it didn’t work.

Bump! I need this as well. Not being able to share a single image to instagram is a bummer. I would love this to be made available! Thank you :)

Any update on this?

It is not a bug of plugin, but issue artificially created by Meta for their shitty apps.

i finally solved this issue .. Issue:

Instagram considers image and text caption as multiple images, preventing successful sharing due to an Instagram issue. The original _shareSheet function was designed to share an image with a text caption. To address the problem, it is recommended to modify the function as follows:

Original Function: _shareSheet(File file) async { try { await Share.shareXFiles([XFile(file.path)], text: "Mohamed El-Sayed"); } catch (error) { return; } }

Modified Function:

_shareSheet(File file) async { try { await Share.shareXFiles([XFile(file.path)], text: null); } catch (error) { return; } }

This change ensures that when sharing an image, no text is included, resolving the issue with Instagram's interpretation.

Additionally, there's a recommendation to update the usage of Share.shareFiles in the code. The original usage: Share.shareFiles( [imagePath], subject: product.productName ?? "", text: product.productUrl ?? "", sharePositionOrigin: positionOrigin(isIpad), ); Should be updated to:

Share.shareFiles( [imagePath], subject: null, text: null, sharePositionOrigin: positionOrigin(isIpad), );

This change aligns with the modified _shareSheet function, ensuring that no text is shared along with the image.

Please review and consider implementing these changes to address the Instagram sharing issue.
