Duplicate of #942

I think the problem is addressed in #1002 and will be available in the 1.4.0 release.

@jamesmontemagno Is #942 the same issue? That appears to be related to the title and URL not appearing in reminders, this bug is related to the share sheet not appearing at all.

FYI I am also having the issue, I will have to rollback to a version without this bug for now.

@jamesmontemagno I think it's more a duplicate of #979

[jamesmontemagno]

Ah yea, looks like duplicate of https://github.com/xamarin/Essentials/pull/1002 and #979

[jamesmontemagno]

@Ruddy2007 are you saying that a previous version works but a new version does not? I would like to know the version numbers so I can go through and look at code changes.

[Ruddy2007]

@jamesmontemagno I was wrong, I tested the previous plugin versions assuming it would be an update that causes the bug. Turns out it is, in fact, iOS 13.2+ that causes the issue, not a code change.

@jamesmontemagno This issue is back.

with file have I issue too.
await Share.RequestAsync(new ShareFileRequest
{
Title = Title,
File = new ShareFile(filepath)
});

Was fixed in 1.5.3.2: https://github.com/xamarin/Essentials/issues/1247 also has best practice on how to handle on iPad to set the rect.
