## Known Issues

### Sharing data created with XFile.fromData

When sharing data created with `XFile.fromData`, the plugin will write a temporal file inside the cache directory of the app, so it can be shared.

Althouth the OS should take care of deleting those files, it is adviced, that you clean up this data once in a while (e.g. on app start).

You can access this directory using [path_provider](https://pub.dev/packages/path_provider) [getTemporaryDirectory](https://pub.dev/documentation/path_provider/latest/path_provider/getTemporaryDirectory.html)

Alternatively, don't use `XFile.fromData` and instead write the data down to a `File` with a path before sharing it, so you control when to delete it.

### Mobile platforms (Android and iOS)

#### Facebook limitations (WhatsApp, Instagram, Facebook Messenger)
