Facebook contact card sharing from iOS not working

Opened this issue · 3 comments

I tried to share my contact card from the app straight to Facebook. Instead of sharing the card, the app instead shared a link to spideroak.com/kloak . I'd expect to be able to share the image of my contact card straightaway.

Interesting. Looks like the plugin we are using is incapable of uploading the image to Facebook, so it tries its best to share what it can, the url is one of the arguments we pass the plugin API.

I'm seeing this:

"Facebook iOS: message, image (other filetypes are not supported), link. Beware that since a Fb update in April 2015 sharing a prefilled message is no longer possible when the Fb app is installed (like Android), see #344. Alternative: use shareViaFacebookWithPasteMessageHint."

So we need to add a specific sharing mechanism for FB: EddyVerbruggen/SocialSharing-PhoneGap-Plugin#344
