Flutter how to share image on assets folder?

First get your image as bytes and copy to temp file.

      final bytes = await rootBundle.load('assets/image.jpg');
      final list = bytes.buffer.asUint8List();

      final tempDir = await getTemporaryDirectory();
      final file = await File('${tempDir.path}/image.jpg').create();
      file.writeAsBytesSync(list);

Then use share package to share it, should work;

Share.shareFiles(['${file.path}'], text: 'Great picture');

The problem you're facing comes from the method getApplicationDocumentsDirectory(); it doesn't give you the right path.

It gives you the path of the hidden directory where the app store data.

You may want to update your code with something like so:

// old code
Share.shareFiles(['${directory.path}/baws.png'], text: 'Great picture');


// new one
Share.shareFiles(['assets/images/baws.png'], text: 'Great picture');

Don't forget to put your 'baws.png' in the folder named assets with a subfolder named image to match the example, and to declare it in your pubspec.yaml

The folder assets need to be at the root of your project directory.

                      // import 'dart:io'; 
                      // share_plus: any
                      // path_provider: any
shareFile(){
                      ByteData imagebyte = await rootBundle
                          .load('assets/images/kissing_image_real.png');
                      final temp = await getTemporaryDirectory();
                      final path = '${temp.path}/image1.jpg';
                      File(path).writeAsBytesSync(imagebyte.buffer.asUint8List());
                      await Share.shareFiles([path], text: 'Image Shared');
