[Bug]: shareUri throws an exception when the share dialog is dismissed

[kbublitz]

Platform

Android 12

Plugin

share_plus

Version

9.0.0

Flutter SDK

3.19.6

Steps to reproduce

1. Use shareLink function
2. Build flutter app for web target
3. Run the web app on a mobile phone
4. Trigger the shareLink function by using a button in the app
5. Dismiss the share drawer by tapping outside of it

Code Sample

final shareLink = Uri.parse("www.github.com");    
final box = context.findRenderObject() as RenderBox?;
// shareUri seems to work better than share, but does not allow to set a subject for mail
final shareResult = await Share.shareUri(
  shareLink,
  sharePositionOrigin: box!.localToGlobal(Offset.zero) & box.size,
);

Logs

Can't run flutter run --verbose on a deployed web app, I see the following error message:

Exception: Navigator.share() failed: The operation was aborted

My guess is that the following lines from share() should also be added to the shareUri method in the share_plus_web.dart:

if (e.name case 'AbortError') { return _resultDismissed; }

Commenting to prevent auto closing. Would be nice to get any feedback if this issue will be fixed.

Is this an android error or a web error? your report says Android 12, but the logs talk about deploying for web

[kbublitz]

Yes it's the web target, but the error is still specific to Android, so I can't debug or test it in a web browser on PC. I wasn't sure what the template was asking for, the App is running in a web browser on an Android device when the exception appears.

[miquelbeltran]

Are you wrapping the call with a try/catch? The method throws exceptions if it fails: https://github.com/fluttercommunity/plus_plugins/blob/e61b4725332adfca756cd77c97354f2f29be0907/packages/share_plus/share_plus/lib/src/share_plus_web.dart#L32-L68

[kbublitz]

Sure we catch the exception and show an error popup (something generic like "Failed to share the URI"). It's just that I don't think there should be an exception in case of aborting the dialog, just to be consistent with the behavior in share() method.

[miquelbeltran]

My guess is that the difference between share() and shareUri is that the former has the following code in the try/catch:

      if (e.name case 'AbortError') {
        return _resultDismissed;
      }

Which the shareUri doesn't have.

This should be an easy fix.
