Can someone explain to me this plug-in? I see that you can invoke share and share assuming to the phones native sharing capabilities but can I provide an image in addition to a description for user to share? Or because it is so new that just isn't possible yet.

The share plugin was one of the first Flutter plugins ever written.  It's pretty basic, and probably doesn't cover all aspects of the sharing APIs exposed on both iOS and Android.  With regards to whether it supports images and descriptions or not, I don't know, but someone else on this list might.

Regardless, pull requests to improve it are welcome:
And it's always possible to call Android or iOS APIs via your own code:
or even publish your own callouts as plugins similar to share:

Hope that helps.
