Setup #
social_sharing_plus is supported on Android and iOS platforms. On the Android side, queries are made with the package names of the respective apps. This requires the addition of some Android-specific code.

Android (click to expand)
Add queries for app packages
You need to add the following queries to your app's AndroidManifest.xml file to ensure proper redirection to the respective social media apps:
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
package="com.example.myapp">

<queries>
<!-- Query for Facebook -->
<package android:name="com.facebook.katana" />
<!-- Query for Twitter -->
<package android:name="com.twitter.android" />
<!-- Query for LinkedIn -->
<package android:name="com.linkedin.android" />
<!-- Query for Reddit -->
<package android:name="com.reddit.frontpage" />
<!-- Query for WhatsApp -->
<package android:name="com.whatsapp" />
<!-- Query for Telegram -->
<package android:name="org.telegram.messenger" />
</queries>

<application>
<!-- ... -->
</application>
</manifest>

Media Sharing and Media Provider
This provides a specific file provider so that it can share files with other applications. To provide this functionality, you need to create an XML folder under the android>app>src>main>res folder and name it filepaths.xml. Then add the following code to the filepaths.xml file:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<paths xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<cache-path name="cache" path="." />
<external-path name="external" path="." />
</paths>
copied to clipboard
This XML file specifies what types of files your file provider can provide. Then add a <provider> tag in your AndroidManifest.xml file like this:
<provider
android:name="androidx.core.content.FileProvider"
android:authorities="${applicationId}.fileprovider"
android:exported="false"
android:grantUriPermissions="true">
<meta-data
android:name="android.support.FILE_PROVIDER_PATHS"
android:resource="@xml/filepaths" />
</provider>
copied to clipboard
This <provider> tag specifies the authorization of your file provider and what file paths it provides. The android:authorities attribute specifies the identity of your file provider, and the ${applicationId}.fileprovider value uses your application's credentials. This ensures the security of your application while allowing other applications to access files.

No special configuration is needed for iOS.
