UIKit Component: Sharing components are built on top of the social.plus UIKit, providing ready-to-use sharing interfaces with customizable copy and native share sheet functionality across all supported content types.

​
Feature Overview

The Sharing UIKit components provide comprehensive tools for enabling content sharing throughout your application. Users can share posts, profiles, communities, and live streams through two primary methods: copying shareable links or using native platform share sheets. These components integrate seamlessly across multiple pages and content types.

Best Practices

  • Clear Visual Feedback: Provide immediate feedback when links are copied
  • Consistent Placement: Position share options consistently across similar content types
  • Contextual Messaging: Use content-specific share messages and labels
  • Accessibility: Ensure share buttons are accessible with proper labels and touch targets
  • Brand Consistency: Use consistent icons and messaging that match your brand - Platform Optimization: Customize labels for platform-specific sharing conventions - Content Context: Tailor share messages to the specific content being shared - User Guidance: Use clear, action-oriented text for share and copy buttons
  • Lazy Link Generation: Generate share links only when sharing is initiated
  • Error Handling: Implement graceful error handling for failed share operations
  • Network Optimization: Cache share configurations to minimize API calls
  • Background Processing: Handle link generation without blocking the UI

​
Common Use Cases

  • Content Virality: Enable easy sharing to increase content reach and engagement
  • Community Growth: Share community links to attract new members and expand reach
  • User Acquisition: Use profile sharing for networking and user discovery
  • Live Engagement: Share live streams to maximize viewer participation
  • Content Discovery: Share interesting posts to help users discover new content

​
Troubleshooting

Problem: Share buttons are not visible in expected locationsSolutions:
  • Verify sharing functionality is enabled in your app configuration
  • Check that URL patterns are properly configured in the social.plus console
  • Ensure proper authentication and permissions for content access
  • Validate that the content exists and is accessible
// Verify share configuration
let config = AmityUIKitManager.getShareConfiguration()
if config.isEnabled {
    // Sharing should be available
}
Problem: Copy to clipboard functionality not workingSolutions:
  • Check clipboard permissions on the platform
  • Verify that the generated link is valid
  • Ensure proper error handling for clipboard operations
  • Test on different devices and platforms
try {
  await navigator.clipboard.writeText(shareLink);
  // Show success feedback
} catch (error) {
  // Handle clipboard permission or other errors
  console.error('Copy failed:', error);
}
Problem: Native share sheet not opening or functioning correctlySolutions:
  • Verify platform-specific share sheet permissions
  • Check that the content and link are properly formatted
  • Ensure the app has proper entitlements for sharing
  • Test with different content types and platforms
// iOS share sheet validation
if UIActivityViewController.canPerform(activity: .postToFacebook) {
    // Share sheet should work
}
