🔥 CRITICAL BUG FIX: Multiple File Sharing #

iOS ShareExtension Critical Fix

  • 🚨 MAJOR BUG FIXED: ShareExtension was only showing the last file when multiple files were shared
  • 🔄 Root Cause: shareData["filePaths"] = [url.path] was overwriting the array instead of accumulating files
  • Solution: Implemented proper array accumulation using allFilePaths.append(url.path)
  • 📱 Impact: Multiple file sharing now works correctly - sharing 2+ photos will show all files
  • 🛠️ Setup Script: Fixed setup_ios_clean.dart to generate corrected ShareViewController.swift
  • 🎯 Verification: Comprehensive logging added to help debug future sharing issues

Technical Details

Before (BROKEN):

shareData["filePaths"] = [url.path]  // ❌ Overwrites previous files

After (FIXED):

var allFilePaths: [String] = []      // ✅ Collect all files
allFilePaths.append(url.path)        // ✅ Accumulate each file
shareData["filePaths"] = allFilePaths // ✅ Use complete array

What This Fixes

  • Multiple Photos: Sharing 2+ photos now shows all files instead of just the last one
  • Mixed Content: Sharing multiple files + text content works correctly
  • All File Types: Images, videos, documents, audio files - all properly accumulated
  • Consistent Behavior: iOS now matches Android's multiple file handling
