I have met a similar error: "Parameter specified as non-null is null: method X.0zH.A1C, parameter param at index = 0" we can share video to facebook story about 4 month ago and we haven't made any change during these months. here's the code

        val shareVideo = ShareVideo.Builder().setLocalUrl(videoUri).build()
        val shareStoryContent = ShareStoryContent.Builder()
                .setBackgroundAsset(shareVideo)
                .build()

        if (ShareDialog.canShow(ShareStoryContent::class.java)) {
            shareDialog.show(shareStoryContent)
        }

I have the same problem. Any solution?

I would recommend switching to the newer Share to Stories API https://developers.facebook.com/docs/sharing/sharing-to-stories/android-developers

[angiep125]

Also see https://github.com/facebook/facebook-android-sdk/issues/1081 for an example of onboarding onto newer API
