Error On Oculus Quest2

[dickredone]

The error dialog frame opened when I try to share a local picture.

"Unable to share.There was a probblem sharing your item.Please try again later."

Reproduction steps

public void OnClickShare()
        {
            FileInfo[] allFiles = FileSaveAndLoad.LoadPics("Pics");
            NativeShare share = new NativeShare();
            share.AddFile(allFiles[0].FullName).Share();
        }

Run the Method "OnClickShare".

I haven't tested the plugin in VR actually. The error messages look pretty useful but googling them didn't reveal any search results and I don't know why some parental controls would interfere with the sharing and how to overcome it. I couldn't even find any documentation about sharing in VR 😞

This issue will probably remain open for some time.

Came here because of the same issue.

Some more info:

• share dialog works when Subject & Text & URL is added, but then the file is ignored - so, it just shares as URL + Description
• share dialog doesn't work when only a file is added
• share dialog doesn't work when a file and a subject are added

This is also logged:

Is it possible to share files via Oculus Quest 2's own Gallery app or Files app (if exists)? I wonder if file sharing isn't possible at all on Oculus Quest 2. PS. If sharing is possible from stock apps, could you check their share logs as well? Maybe we can spot a difference in logs.

I believe it's possible - the share sheet pops up and has three options, "Facebook", "Facebook groups" and "Messenger" - and if one shares via that, a post appears in that place just fine. Only the image is missing (depending on the parameters, as outlined above).

I don't think other apps like Gallery use that share functionally though, they don't have a direct button to share as far as I'm aware, but will check.

Tangentially related, the new Instagram app on Quest doesn't support file sharing intents yet (it's a PWA and the file handler protocols are not supported yet).

This example code uses Uri.parse instead of a ContentProvider; could you see if Uri.parse works on Quest 2: http://www.daniel4d.com/blog/sharing-image-unity-android. You'll need to replace the file path with your own file path and "image/jpeg" mimetype with your file's mimetype.
