After I added and installed social-sharing and instagram plugins, I couldn’t share my taken image, when the popup shows up after taking the picture, it shows a white square with “instagram” text. and under it says “Instagram Photo Exclusive” and the size of the image. Bellow these should show up the Instagram app (it only shows AirDrop, Chrome, Notes), but there’s nothing related with Instagram.
The only difference might be that I am using the CameraPreview plugin as well, because I have to compare an image in the app with the live camera preview. So I found this plugin camera-preview
I am using the newest angular 9, Ionic 5. Everything is updated to the latest version (plugins, dependencies).
I really need to resolve this image sharing option on Instagram, within my app, with the taken image,
thanks in advice!
Do you have a sample project that people could inspect/look at? It’s hard to know what the issue could be without one
There it is. I tried to make a demo app, I was trying to share an image just like in this repo, in home page (plugin installed, and called in home.ts)
Here it is, this is how it behaves on device
You’re app is broken. It wont build since you uploaded an incomplete app.
Looks like I found a workaround here https://github.com/EddyVerbruggen/SocialSharing-PhoneGap-Plugin/issues/1060
It’s a blank new app, only the instagram plugin is installed, and what’s important is in the home.page.ts
import { Component } from '@angular/core';
import { Instagram } from '@ionic-native/instagram/ngx';
@Component({
selector: 'app-home',
templateUrl: 'home.page.html',
styleUrls: ['home.page.scss'],
})
export class HomePage {
constructor(private instagram: Instagram) { }
socialShare() {
this.instagram.share('data:image/png;uhduhf3hfif33', 'Caption')
.then(() => console.log('Shared!'))
.catch((error: any) => console.error(error));
}
}
and also the home.page.html, where I just call a button click
<ion-button (click)="socialShare()" expand="block" fill="clear">
Share on Instagram
</ion-button>
At least this was my approach. But regarding to that link, “Since iOS13, when sharing to instagram, the app is not proposed as target for .igo files anymore”. Which means it’s not a plugin error, maybe? What do you think?
