[Facebook] Sharing with Image

I realize that not everyone wants to integrate with Facebook but given it’s one of the largest social media platforms, is it worthwhile considering a better intgration so that images can be shared when sharing on Facebook?

Steps to reproduce

Use a file:// url and notice how Share.open will not populate the Facebook post with an image. Share.shareSingle actually fails to open the webpage.

Expected behaviour

This may require an integration with Facebook, but if present, sharing on Facebook is quite easy like below.

import { ShareDialog } from 'react-native-fbsdk';

const photoUri = 'file://' + '/path/of/photo.png'
const sharePhotoContent = {
  contentType: 'photo',
  photos: [{ imageUrl: photoUri }],
}
ShareDialog.show(sharePhotoContent);

Environment

• React Native version: 0.57.8
• React Native platform + platform version: iOS 12

react-native-share

Version: 1.1.3

I guess that rn-fetch-blob works fine for both Android and iOS

Excellent!

I’d be happy to provide a PR given I have some specifications and a little help with reviewing.
