Native share and native email not working in iOS 5.1.1 ?

[timo.v...@gmail.com]

My app uses native share and native email (with an attachment) without problems on Android, but the same code crashes my iOS 5.1.1 iPad.

I wrapped the call with exception handing, but the app apparently crashes inside the native code.

Should native share and email (with a file attachment) work at all on iOS 5.1.1 ?

Hi,
native share isn't available on iOS prior to OS 6. I'll fix it to fallback to lightweight share.
E-mail attachment should work though how are you using email?

Hi Shai,

Thanks for the quick response.

Although a fallback to lightweight share is much better than a crash, it has the drawback of not being language-independent.

This is the code that fails on iOS 5.1.1 while sending an email:

OutputStream stream = null;

try {

    FileSystemStorage filesystem = FileSystemStorage.getInstance();

    String path = filesystem.getAppHomePath() + filesystem.getFileSystemSeparator() + "file.csv";

    stream = FileSystemStorage.getInstance().openOutputStream(path);

    writeFile(stream);

    Message message = new Message("See attached file");

    message.setAttachmentMimeType("text/csv");

    message.setAttachment(path);

    Display.getInstance().sendMessage(null, "Your CSV file", message);

} catch (Exception e) {

  throw new FileSaveException(e);

} finally {

  Util.cleanup(stream);

}

I hope you can point out from this code fragment what could be causing the crash.

Hi,
the null is causing the crash. You need to provide an address for iOS.
