Flutter "share_plus" sharePositionOrigin PlatformException on iOS

Question

I am using the "share_plus" Flutter library to share a file with a Firebase dynamic link. Here is the code I am currently using:

  ...............

  final dynamicLink =
      await FirebaseDynamicLinks.instance.buildShortLink(dynamicLinkParams);

  var description = 'Check this out on our app ${dynamicLink.shortUrl}';

  Share.shareXFiles([XFile(fileName)], text: description).then((value) async {
    setState(() {
      shareCount += 1;
    });

    SharedPreferences preferences = await SharedPreferences.getInstance();
    preferences.remove("sharedPostId");

    Navigator.pop(context);
  });

  .................

On Android, the share bottom sheet opens fine. However, on iOS, the share bottom sheet does not open, and the logs display the following error message:

[VERBOSE-2:dart_vm_initializer.cc(41)] Unhandled Exception: PlatformException(error, sharePositionOrigin: argument must be set, {{0, 0}, {0, 0}} must be non-zero and within coordinate space of source view: {{0, 0}, {414, 736}}, null, null)
#0      StandardMethodCodec.decodeEnvelope (package:flutter/src/services/message_codecs.dart:653)
#1      MethodChannel._invokeMethod (package:flutter/src/services/platform_channel.dart:315)
<asynchronous suspension>
#2      MethodChannelShare.shareFilesWithResult (package:share_plus_platform_interface/method_channel/method_channel_share.dart:134)

Any help will be greatly appreciated!

if your are using Share_Plus plugin in flutter:

I solved it by adding sharePositionOrigin: Rect.fromLTWH(0, 0, screenWidth, screenHeight) in the shareUrl() function This is my code:

......................................................
   void shareUrl(String text, BuildContext context){
    try{
     Size size = MediaQuery.of(context).size;
     double screenWidth = size.width;
     double screenHeight = size.height;
       Share.share(text,
           sharePositionOrigin: Rect.fromLTWH(0, 0, screenWidth, 
             screenHeight));
    } catch (e) {
       Get.snackbar('Error', 'Failed to share: $e');
     }
 }
....................................................

I hope its helps.
