Sounds like a feature request for facebook then. Over to TE.

[Lukas Blakk [:lsblakk] use ?needinfo]

If the app doesn't support the pic activity we cannot provide this functionality so outreach will need to be done to the Facebook team responsible for the app - we cannot block on this.

Hi Karen, will you be able to take this feature request to Facebook? Thanks

This seems to be a problem with Gallery, not Facebook. If we open a photo in Gallery, and there is no option to share via Facebook, that would be a Gallery bug, right? Jason, can you help us redirect this bug?

This was set correctly. I am working with FB on that feature; is it getting pushed live the coming days.

They might have already pushed this live actually. The manifest shows the following:

"activities":{"share":{"disposition":"window","href":"\/home.php","filters":{"type":"image\/*","number":1}}}

Which indicates that they are trying to handle the share activity in their app manifest. Can someone retest to find out if this works now?

[:Harald Kirschner :digitarald]

We aware that I am in contact with them about an issue they encountered: When users have "Secure Browsing" on, sharing fails as the origin of the app will be forced to HTTPS whereby the manifest is hosted on HTTP.

We are currently looking into changing the manifest URL on Marketplace to HTTPS. This has the drawback that existing installations are not recognized on the FB Marketplace page and people might end up with 2 apps installed.

Just retested on a Huawei device with FFOS v1.1 and I can now share a Gallery photo on Facebook (the option exists now in Gallery sharing options)

Keeping bug open per Harald's concerns listed in comment #9

Update from [e-mail]: This feature has been deployed, but is broken pending a resolution of the problem with our market place listing (937917). Harald has details.
