• It works when this line is commented out, so I think it is affected by FlipperKitNetworkPlugin.
• Not working share in iPhone 11 Pro Max native app mail ? #783 might be a question about this bug.

Thanks @Kta-M did you tested this on a fresh project with rn 0.62.2? I think we might need to look at the update in the example app to fix this.

Updating examples should never ever take maintainer time :-)

Thanks, Mike! I will look forward to implementing this. 🙉

Thanks @MateusAndrade, yes, I tested this on a fresh project (https://github.com/Kta-M/react-native-share-example-app).

Strange, I tested this here with a fresh project with the following version and it works fine. Also, I checked your project and your dependencies are matching with the ones that I tested here.

  "dependencies": {
    "react": "16.11.0",
    "react-native": "0.62.2",
    "react-native-share": "^3.3.2"
  }

I checked here, it looks that the example app is using a version 3.0.0 of react-native-share. (which throws the given error)Probably because it's using the master version, then the hash should be saved at the .lock. I will try to look at that, but I would appreciate it if you help me with this. 😄

I checked here, it looks that the example app is using a version 3.0.0 of react-native-share.

"the example app" is referring to my Kta-M/react-native-share-example-app or this repository's react-native-community/react-native-share/example?

My example app has a committed package-lock.json file and uses react-native-share 3.3.2. This does not work in my environment.
The example app in this repository will work. When I tried it, the hash was 10c72e4, the latest commit, not 3.0.0.

In addition, thinking that it might be a problem of the environment of the iOS simulator, I executed Device > Erase All Erase All Content and Settings, but after all my example app does not work😢

@MateusAndrade, I've solved it!

It was a problem on the react-native side.

Upgrading Flipper in the Podfile from 0.33.1 to 0.37.0 solved the problem.

In react-native, the following pull requests have already been merged and it looks like they are going to include 0.63.0😄
