media_launcher_plugin

A Flutter plugin to launch and share text messages directly to WhatsApp, Telegram, X (Twitter), or via the system share sheet.

✨ Features

  • 📤 Share text messages to:
    • WhatsApp
    • Telegram
    • X (Twitter) as Posts
    • iOS system share sheet

🔧 iOS Setup

To enable this plugin to check for installed apps on iOS, you must add the required URL schemes to your Info.plist file.

Open your iOS project at ios/Runner/Info.plist and add the following:

<key>LSApplicationQueriesSchemes</key>
<array>
    <string>whatsapp</string>
    <string>tg</string>
    <string>twitter</string>
</array>

This allows the plugin to detect if WhatsApp, Telegram, or Twitter (X) is installed on the device before attempting to launch.

🚀 Usage

1. Add to pubspec.yaml

  media_launcher_plugin:
    git: https://github.com/mustafa-kh-98/media_launcher_plugin.git

2. Import the plugin

import 'package:media_launcher_plugin/media_launcher_plugin.dart';

3. Call one of the available methods

MediaLauncherPlugin.toWhatsapp("Hello from my app!");
MediaLauncherPlugin.toTelegram("Join my channel on Telegram!");
MediaLauncherPlugin.toX("Just posted from my Flutter app!");
MediaLauncherPlugin.toSystem("This is a system share!");

⚠️ Notes

  • This plugin uses URL schemes to open external apps, which means it must be tested on a real device (not a simulator).
  • Ensure WhatsApp, Telegram, or X (Twitter) is installed on the device.
  • X may redirect to the App Store if the app isn't available or is not installed.
  • Always encode the message properly before sending (this is handled internally by the plugin).
