Share instagram stories `Share.shareSingle(shareOptions)` redirecting to Gallery in android. about react-native-share HOT 9 CLOSED

Facing same issue.

from react-native-share.

Two potential causes:

• Image is invalid. The preferred format is base64
• You must provide a valid facebook app id

      await Share.shareSingle({
        backgroundImage: matchCardBase64,
        social: Social.InstagramStories,
        type: 'image/png',
        appId: 'YOU_FB_APP_ID'
      });

Facing same issue.

did you fix it?

@davidwinograd1, is really simple, just look at the android native code they have written for this library.
as you can see, the sticker MUST be of type "image/png", while backgroundImage MUST be of type "image/jpeg".
as for the "type" parameter, apparently it does not exist for android, or at least I have version 9.2.3, and everything works!

but what if I'm uploading a video, aka the backgroundVideo prop? @Giasinit

@davidwinograd1 with regard to the backgroundVideo prop the type must be 'video/*', so you're OK as far as the last issue is concerned. the only thing is that in my opinion you don't have the thing I showed you in the screenshot of the last issue.
