Well, it does not tell anything. Never gets called. The problem: if there is no-one found to share things with, then there can be no sharing, and thus no errors while sharing.
“Invoked when the sharing service encountered an error when sharing items.”
But thanks for the suggestion. It is better to have this delegate method implemented.
Kind regards,
