[Bug]: Share_plus Web Must be handling a user gesture to perform a share request

[FabioCFonseca]

Platform

chrome

Plugin

share_plus

Version

11.0.0

Flutter SDK

3.32.2

Steps to reproduce

I'm trying to share a link locally in Flutter web (Chrome) by adding a BLoC event that calls the share service. It works on Android and iOS, but on the web, I encounter the following exception:

[log] Failed to share URI [log] NotAllowedError: Failed to execute 'share' on 'Navigator': Must be handling a user gesture to perform a share request. [log] Navigator.share() failed: Failed to execute 'share' on 'Navigator': Must be handling a user gesture to perform a share request.

How can I resolve this exception?

Hi, it seems that your issue is caused by calling the share functionality in the wrong context. Web works a bit differently compared to iOS and Android. MDN specifies that the share function can only be used when triggered by a user action. You can check this issue.
