Testing on Physical Device - no error, no share menu

[jake-newsom]

Description

I'm using the code below and on my computer's web browser it just downloads the image (I assume that's fine, idk) but on my android device, nothing happens. I've used the device inspector and checked the console log, I see the console.log() messages all showing up fine and it does end up showing the final "test" meaning there was no error, however no share menu pops up at all. Any idea what I'm doing wrong here?

    shareBlog: async function(){
        const imageUrl = "https://i.imgur.com/hrpUdJp.jpeg";

        const b64data = await this.getBase64FromUrl(imageUrl);
        const fb64 = b64data.replace(/^data:image\/[a-z]+;base64,/, "");
        console.log(fb64);

        const contentType =  b64data.match(/[^:]\w+\/[\w-+\d.]+(?=;|,)/)[0];
        console.log(contentType);

        const resp = await FileSharer.share({
            filename: "test.jpeg",
            base64Data: fb64,
            contentType: contentType,
        }).then(() => {
            console.log("test");
        }).catch(error => {
            console.error("File sharing failed", error.message);
        });

        console.log(resp);

    }

The current version 2.0.0 of this plugin does NOT support Capacitor 3.x. I hope to release the new version before October.

@moberwasserlechner Ah ok! Thanks for the quick response! I assumed without errors showing up that my current set up was correct. Apologies, very new to the whole ionic ecosystem.

[moberwasserlechner]

I released the new version 3.0.0 today

If you can and it is still relevant please test this issue with the new version. (Capacitor 3.0.0 required)

I keep this issue open a few days and close it afterwards if there is no feedback.
