React-native-share: What is "Share Single" category ?

[vikjovanov]

Hello,

when I go to the "Share Single" category in the documentation, I realize that there is a list of applications supported by the react-native-share package.

So, to start with, I was already wondering what "Share Single" meant exactly. I didn't really understand the associated example gifs.

Then, why are some applications, like FACEBOOK_STORIES, only supported on iOS and others only on Android? What's that due to ?
Does this mean that I won't be able to share an image in a facebook storie from an android phone?

Thanks for your answers
Viktor

HI @vikjovanov , thanks for sharing this with us. The purpose of Share.single is to share to a specific application, instead of calling the generic "share".

Wich may work as a "deep link". Also, some implementation is only supported in specific platforms(Facebook Stories for example), but you still able to call Share.open to share with these platforms.

Also, sorry for the confusion with our "docs", I have been working on a newer version and I would be glad if you can check it out. 😅

Im using latest version "react-native-share": "^3.7.0" which works fine but then Im using Share.single (according to the doc) its not working reactNativeShare.default.single is not a function.
After Some Searching I replace Share.single with shareSingle and now its work fine.
Please Update Doc or Guide me.
