I am using react-native-share to share content accross different social platform. For plain text it is working fine. But when I include image + message(contains link) + title, then it is not working.
Here is the code which I am using to do so:
let imagePath = null;
RNFetchBlob.config({
fileCache: true,
})
.fetch('GET', FILE_URL)
.then((resp) => {
imagePath = resp.path();
return resp.readFile('base64');
})
.then(async (base64Str) => {
const content = `Sharing Link ${link}`;
const base64Data = `data:image/jpeg;base64,${base64Str}`;
const shareOption = {
message:content,
url: base64Data,
title: 'This is title',
type: 'image/jpeg',
};
await Share.open(shareOption);
return RNFetchBlob.fs.unlink(imagePath);
});
} catch (error) {
console.error(error);
}
I tried different variations of it, what I found on SO and on other links. But non of them worked. What I've tried and didn't worked:
- Sharing URL of images instead of base64 - Only image is shared, message got removed. And in whats app image link is not converted to image.
- by removing message key and only passing url. (In this way image is getting shared. But it has no relevance. Because I am not able to set any kind of message or link)
I am not sure what I am missing here.
