Can someone please give me a guide or Youtube video or sample code that allows me to send a message from my app to twitter and facebook that works on BOTH ios and Android. The sample code on the corona website crashes (plugins social native app pop up). The first time it crashes it states “widget theme_ios_7 not found” the error is on main.lua line 55. When i Comment that line out, the simulator then says it cannot support it on the simulator. I then built it for my adroid device and it says my twitter and facebook etc. apps are not set up for communication when i’ve communicated with them using other apps many times before. please help thank you.
Afaik there is none now because the social plugin doesnt support Facebook on Android. I think you can use the social plugin for Twitter on both Android and iOS and Facebook on iOS. Then you need the Facebook plugin for Facebook on Android.
<benyemi>: You can use native.showPopup()'s social plugin to share via Twitter and Facebook on iOS (you can also invoke the iOS sharing sheet, which isn’t quite as nice). The API docs list it, correctly, as being iOS-only:
On iOS, this is the name of the social service popup to show. Supported values are “twitter”, “facebook”, or “sinaWeibo”.
Corona’s Facebook sharing via native.showPopup() is broken on Android. Corona has not given an estimated time to fix it. Here is a thread on the topic I started in November 2014 – perhaps you might want to post there to remind Corona staff that it’s a necessary feature:
