There's lots of possibilities. Can you reproduce it from App Store? Otherwise, you'll need to select ShareRocketChatRN scheme on Xcode and build it from there.

The version from App Store is working correctly.

Is select ShareRocketChatRN scheme on Xcode means following setting ?

I build previous version 857394ab (4.23) in same way, but not occur this issue.

I did not get any error message from metro console and Xcode log during execution share function

Are you using Intel or M1 macbook?

M1

Okay, it's a problem that's mapped out and we're going to work on a solution to that. It works on Intel macbooks, but not on M1.

As it is a specific fix for macbooks M1 (Both Intel or physical devices works normally) it ended up going unnoticed.

Is there any breaking change after 857394ab (4.23) ?

This issue not only simulator on Apple silicon but also on physical device. (My device is iPhone XS Max with iOS 15.3.1)

I build 4.23 in same environment(Apple Silicon M1 Pro with iPhone XS Max), but not occur this issue.

My repo (base on 857394ab, custom some login flow and change signing settings) https://github.com/PDIS/Rocket.Chat.ReactNative/tree/4.23-pdis-rc

Hmm, curious to know, why here we tested it and it worked. Does building the app on an apple silicon also create the problem? Probably yes. (Since the store app is built on a CI with windows.)

But I'm really not sure that a breaking change has been introduced since December.

However as I said, it is a "probably" specific problem with M1, given that the app from the stores and the apps generated for the test using Intel macbooks cannot replicate this error.

And finally, we have already managed to replicate around here and we are working on it. However, if you want, we are open to solutions :).

I try to building with Intel machine, and get same issue.

I think this issue is not related to CPU architecture.

@bingluen Not sure if you're still facing this issue but I've noticed this issue a couple of days ago on iOS and found that the issue was related to the app groups that the share extension was assigned to (under Signings & Capabilities).

I also had an issue with no servers found once I got the extension to appear, but that was fixed by importing the server key from app.json and using it in the init function of app/share.tsx instead of the UserPreferences value of currentServer. This would only work if you are running the app through the single-server branch, as this wouldn't correctly assign the server for multiple server setups.
