how to get the extraData @AsadAlihp ?

[AsadAlihp]

@feriarvis everything will work you just have to make sure you are providing correct URL scheme in your info.plist. We found the fix, our URL scheme was not matching thats why we were not getting extra data. once correct URL scheme provided everything started working.

@AsadAlihp redirect to app work, but after open the app throwing error Invariant Violation: Native module cannot be null.

[AsadAlihp]

@feriarvis do pod install in ios directory

[feriarvis]

@AsadAlihp still error

@feriarvis did you this step: "Repeat this process for the Share Extension target, with the exact same group name." ? because i forgot this, and that caused the same error

[sajjad-karimi]

first make sure that you create group as documented in ( https://github.com/meedan/react-native-share-menu/blob/master/IOS_INSTRUCTIONS.md#create-app-group-and-url-scheme ) .

and make sure your HostAppURLScheme is match with your app CFBundleURLSchemes : form app you should add custom url in top of your prev urlScheme:

before your app info:

       ......
       <key>CFBundleURLSchemes</key>
       <array>
           // this is your app default URLSchemes
           <string>com.googleusercontent.xxxxxxxx</string>
       </array>
       .....

after your app info :

       .....
       <key>CFBundleURLSchemes</key>
       <array>
           // Add the following line
           <string>mycustomscheme</string>
           // this is your app default URLSchemes
           <string>com.googleusercontent.xxxxxxxx</string>
       </array>
       .....

and add new added url to your extension info ( note that we add :// to end of our url ) :

        .....
        <key>HostAppURLScheme</key>
	<string>mycustomscheme://</string>
        .....

after this steps your app will get data in ContinueInApp in array
