Automatic Install

react-native link react-native-share-story

Manual install

iOS Pods Install (Recommended)

Cocopoads to use react-native-share-story.

You just need to add to your Podfile the react-native-share-story dependency.

  # react-native-share-story pod
  pod 'RNShare', :path => '../node_modules/react-native-share-story'

After that, just run a pod install or pod udpate to get up and running with react-native-share-story.

Then run a react-native link react-native-share-story.

Btw, We also recommend reading this (amazing article)[https://shift.infinite.red/beginner-s-guide-to-using-cocoapods-with-react-native-46cb4d372995] about how pods and rn work together. =D
