Installation

Install it in your project:

In your app’s Expo config (app.json, or app.config.js), make sure that @tinnoland/ios-share-plugin has been added to the list of plugins.

  "plugins": [
            [
                "@tinnoland/ios-share-plugin",
                {
                    "activationRules": {
                        "NSExtensionActivationSupportsText": false,
                        "NSExtensionActivationSupportsWebURLWithMaxCount": 1,
                        "NSExtensionActivationSupportsMovieWithMaxCount": 1
                    }
                }
            ],
  ]

Next, rebuild your app.
