Facebook iOS not working

Steps to reproduce

1. Use shareSingle

This is what I am doing:

const shareOptions = {
      url: picture.uri, // <<<< dynamic
      social: social === 'instagram' ? Share.Social.INSTAGRAM : Share.Social.FACEBOOK,
    };

    Share.shareSingle(shareOptions)
      .then((res) => { console.log(res); })
      .catch((err) => { err && console.log(err); });

Expected behaviour

Open the Facebook app to share the image.

Actual behaviour

Safari will open and I have the following image: href should represent a valid URL. The console.log of the promise tells me that the application is not installed (instead it is installed).

Environment

• React Native version: 0.57.1
• React Native platform + platform version: iOS 12

react-native-share

Version: master (1.1.2)

Experiencing the same issue. Instagram is working fine but facebook just opens up facebook.com on Safari with the following error href should represent a valid URL.

Here’s the code:

Share.shareSingle({
  url: asset.assetUri,
  social: Share.Social.FACEBOOK,
});

and I do have facebook in LSApplicationQueriesSchemes:

<key>LSApplicationQueriesSchemes</key>
	<array>
		<string>instagram-stories</string>
		<string>instagram</string>
		<string>facebook</string>
		<string>whatsapp</string>
		<string>message</string>
        ...

EDIT: Ok actually the issue is only with the doc 🙂, the query scheme for facebook is not facebook but fb, so just add fb to your LSApplicationQueriesSchemes array and it’s going to work just fine!

You can use Linking.canOpenURL('fb://') to detect if it’s installed or not
