I encountered an error when attempting to share via an external platform. Specifically, when trying to share either text or images, a blank popup window is displayed for Facebook, and only the text portion is included in the email.
Has anyone successfully resolved this issue?

Hi Joshua,
welcome to the forum!
Please, we need a bit more info, so show us your script(s)!
Best

P.S.
Personal note:
A little "hello" or something would not have hurt for the very first posting.

After a second look into dictionary I found this, which may explain your problem...

Acquiring third-party components has been a win-win for the platform.
Choosing to not unify their naming after acquisition has been a problem.
No new user can be expected to know what the prefixes "r", "re", "rre", "ts", "merg", and others are supposed to mean as part of a product whose initials are "LC".
I feel for the new user inclined to type "merge" where what was needed was the unexplained "merg".
Sadly, without having unified naming at time of acquisition, it's too late now, we have code in the field dependent on cryptic prefixes.
I don't understand usability choices like that.

The problem is not the name but that it is only available for iOS!
So I'm not sure what you are talking about in this context.

I missed the platform detail, which I agree is an unfortunate limitation in a product where the greatest advertised strength is multiplatform deployment.
I was referring to the code as written being unable to run due to calling the external by a more intuitive but incorrect name.
