ionic capacitor share plugin not sharing image with whatsapp

Question

I have created this function that shares image very well on many applications, but when it comes to WhatsApp or Instagram it not sharing the image.

I'm using Ionic v5 with capacitor v3

  async shareImage() {
    let receiptName = 'Receipt N:123.png';
    const div = this.screenshotElement.nativeElement;
    const divHeight = div.clientHeight;
    const divWidth = div.clientWidth;
    const options = { background: '#ffffff', width: divWidth, height: divHeight };

    await Filesystem.requestPermissions();

    let base64Data = await domtoimage.toPng(div, options);

    // device shareing
    await Filesystem.writeFile({
      path: receiptName,
      data: base64Data,
      directory: Directory.Cache
    });


    let fileResult = await Filesystem.getUri({
      directory: Directory.Cache,
      path: receiptName
    });

    let imageLink = Capacitor.convertFileSrc(fileResult.uri);

    Share.share({
      title: receiptName,
      text: receiptName,
      url: fileResult.uri,
    })
      .then(() => console.log('Successful share'))
      .catch((error) => console.log('Error sharing ::: ', error));

  }

Answer 1

I found that @capacitor/share has this known issue.

see: https://github.com/ionic-team/capacitor-plugins/issues/196

I solved it by using

npm install cordova-plugin-x-socialsharing
npm install @ionic-native/social-sharing
ionic cap sync

see: https://ionicframework.com/docs/native/social-sharing

也可以使用Capacitor Filesharer为我节省了很多压力！
