Has anyone looked at making an Expo plugin?

Open carlgieringer opened this issue 4 years ago • 12 comments

Hi, I was wondering if anyone had looked at creating an Expo plugin for this library. Doing so would (ideally) make it easier to create a cross-platform app (with Expo) that incorporated this library.

I am looking to add share target functionality to an Expo-based app, and so I was wondering if anyone had already looked at this, and potentially identified any difficulties in doing it.

Thanks!

There are demands for that -- 450+ votes from expo community on a plugin as you proposed: https://expo.canny.io/feature-requests/p/share-extension-ios-share-intent-android

However, there is no such expo plugin / library to my knowledge.

I'm looking into it, but I need help getting the iOS side to work correctly to continue. If you have this working and can share some knowledge, would be happy to help.

I ended up just going with a bare React Native app that includes this library. (https://github.com/Howdju/react-native-share-menu)

@carlgieringer your own fork you made some improvements to?

I did a refactor to try and clean up the code (my opinion; I'm not much of a Swift developer). Functionality-wise, I added the ability to share multiple items, but this feature was also added recently in this repository (https://github.com/meedan/react-native-share-menu/commit/a8ab1ad4f71db29c169b9effdb937ff63dd4a59d).

Hi guys, share my expo config plugin to auto-configure iOS Share Extension. https://github.com/langtube/expo-config-plugin-ios-share-extension

Thanks @timedtext for the plugin! I was able to get it working on iOS pretty easily with EAS. I'm wondering if anyone knows of an Android plugin that's similar? I can help create one if someone can help with the steps.

Hi @lucasgismondi-gg how did you get it working with eas ? We have the error: Requested but did not find extension point with identifier Xcode.InterfaceBuilderBuildSupport.PlatformDefinition

Thanks!
