Share
Important: The Vega SDK supports many of the React Native version 0.83 components and APIs. You can use the supported components and APIs in the same manner as an ordinary React Native app. This page lists a specific React Native feature supported by the Vega SDK and contains React Native V0.83 documentation from the reactnative.dev website created by Meta and other contributors and licensed under the Attribution 4.0 International License. For more information about React Native V0.83, see the React Native documentation, version 0.83. For the most current feature information, see the Release Notes.
Important:
Share is not supported on Vega. It is only functional on Android and iOS; on Vega Share.share() rejects with an "Unsupported platform" error.Example
import React from 'react';
import {Alert, Share, Button} from 'react-native';
import {SafeAreaView, SafeAreaProvider} from 'react-native-safe-area-context';
const ShareExample = () => {
const onShare = async () => {
try {
const result = await Share.share({
message:
'React Native | A framework for building native apps using React',
});
if (result.action === Share.sharedAction) {
if (result.activityType) {
// shared with activity type of result.activityType
} else {
// shared
}
} else if (result.action === Share.dismissedAction) {
// dismissed
}
} catch (error) {
Alert.alert(error.message);
}
};
return (
<SafeAreaProvider>
<SafeAreaView>
<Button onPress={onShare} title="Share" />
</SafeAreaView>
</SafeAreaProvider>
);
};
export default ShareExample;

Methods
share() Android iOS
static share(content: ShareContent, options?: ShareOptions);
Open a dialog to share text content.
In iOS, returns a Promise which will be invoked with an object containing action and activityType. If the user dismissed the dialog, the Promise will still be resolved with action being Share.dismissedAction and all the other keys being undefined. Note that some share options will not appear or work on the iOS simulator.
In Android, returns a Promise which will always be resolved with action being Share.sharedAction.
