React-native-share: MainApplication cannot be cast to ShareApplication on Android 8

[jgfidelis]

react-native-share version 1.0.27
Testing on an emulator running Android 8

We get this error:

This is the line:
final String authority = ((ShareApplication) reactContext.getApplicationContext()).getFileProviderAuthority();

Any one with more experience on the bridge can help?

I followed the manual installation docs and it worked, thanks.

But please don't make it collapsable, make everyone see it.

@enieber I think some steps of manual installation should be outside of it

as react-native link can't handle all that steps
