[Question]: share_plus doesn't work on iPad iOS v17.5

[llyl]

What is your question?

I use share_plus version 12.0.1 (update from v10.1.4) to share a file to other APPs, but it cannot work on iPad iOS v17.5, it just no respond for a long time, and then return result as dismissed.

I test on iPhone iOS v17.5, iPad and iPhone iOS v18.5, both are work fine.

Anyone have ideas?

I have found a solution for the issue why the share sheet does appear on iPhone but doesn't on iPad
first of all thank you so much for this amazing plugin!

Why This Causes iPad-Specific Failure
iPhone Behavior:
Share sheet appears as modal bottom sheet (no anchor point needed)
Works without sharePositionOrigin
iPad Behavior:
Share sheet appears as UIPopoverPresentationController (popover)
Requires sharePositionOrigin to know where to anchor the popover
Without it, iOS silently fails to present the popover
This is standard iOS UIKit behavior - popovers on iPad must have a source view or source rect.

solution was to ensure a proper context is available, and as a fallback calculate screen center

final sharePositionOrigin = box != null
    ? box.localToGlobal(Offset.zero) & box.size
    : _getScreenCenterRect(context);  // Fallback for iPad

static Rect _getScreenCenterRect(BuildContext context) {
  final size = MediaQuery.of(context).size;
  final center = Offset(size.width / 2, size.height / 2);
  return center & const Size(1, 1);
}
