Share instagram story is not work properly

See original GitHub issue

Steps to reproduce

I tried to run the next code:

import Share from 'react-native-share';

const shareToInstagramStoryUnsafe = async () => {
  const shareOptions = {
    backgroundImage:
      'https://hatrabbits.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/12/rare-combinaties.jpg',
    method: Share.InstagramStories.SHARE_BACKGROUND_IMAGE,
    social: Share.Social.INSTAGRAM_STORIES,
  };

  console.log(' --- xdebug shareOptions', shareOptions);

  const ShareResponse = await Share.shareSingle(shareOptions);

  console.log(' --- xdebug ShareResponse', ShareResponse);
};


shareToInstagramStoryUnsafe();

As a result I see next:

D/ViewRootImpl@1618a00[MainActivity]: ViewPostIme pointer 0
D/ViewRootImpl@1618a00[MainActivity]: ViewPostIme pointer 1
I/ReactNativeJS: ' --- xdebug shareOptions', { backgroundImage: 'https://hatrabbits.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/12/rare-combinaties.jpg',
      method: 'shareBackgroundImage',
      social: 'instagramstories' }

Expected behavior

Instagram story sharing should work properly

Actual behavior

After invoking .shareSingle(...) will be opened a new activity and very quickly closed and a result { message: true, app: 'com.instagram.android' } Instagram didn’t open

Also, I tried to use example/App.js and the same problem:
