From 26a935d9588ef68f9a70b5c890322d442d4168bb Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: mcull Date: Mon, 29 Sep 2025 18:40:18 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] fix(invite): use native share on mobile for Copy Join Link button MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Fixes #311 - "Copy share link didn't work on mobile" ## Problem The "Copy Join Link" button in the Manage Members modal was failing on iOS Chrome due to clipboard API restrictions when called after async operations (like API fetches). ## Root Cause - navigator.clipboard.writeText() requires secure context and synchronous user gesture, which breaks on iOS after awaiting fetch - Fallback execCommand('copy') also unreliable on mobile browsers - iOS particularly restrictive about clipboard access outside direct user interactions ## Solution 1. **Use native share on mobile**: Detect mobile devices (iOS/Android) and use navigator.share() API instead of clipboard copy - Opens native share sheet on mobile (better UX, more reliable) - Falls back to clipboard copy on desktop 2. **Improve clipboard fallback**: For desktop browsers without clipboard API: - Changed textarea positioning from absolute/-9999px to fixed/opacity:0 - Added focus() call before select() for better compatibility - Use textarea.value.length instead of hardcoded 99999 3. **Better error handling**: Don't show error when user cancels native share dialog (AbortError) ## Testing - Tested on iOS Chrome: Now opens native iOS share sheet - Desktop Chrome: Still copies to clipboard as before - Graceful degradation if both methods fail (shows link text) 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code) Co-Authored-By: Claude --- src/components/ManageMembersModal.tsx | 67 ++++++++++++++++++++------- 1 file changed, 50 insertions(+), 17 deletions(-) diff --git a/src/components/ManageMembersModal.tsx b/src/components/ManageMembersModal.tsx index a0e41d7..fecd875 100644 --- a/src/components/ManageMembersModal.tsx +++ b/src/components/ManageMembersModal.tsx @@ -117,25 +117,32 @@ export function ManageMembersModal({ textLength: text?.length, }); try { - // Modern clipboard API (preferred) + // Try modern clipboard API first if (navigator?.clipboard?.writeText) { await navigator.clipboard.writeText(text); console.log('[ManageMembersModal] clipboard API success'); return true; } - // Fallback for older browsers + // Fallback for browsers without clipboard API + // Create a temporary textarea element const textarea = document.createElement('textarea'); textarea.value = text; textarea.setAttribute('readonly', ''); - textarea.style.position = 'absolute'; - textarea.style.left = '-9999px'; + // Make it visible but off-screen for iOS + textarea.style.position = 'fixed'; + textarea.style.left = '0'; textarea.style.top = '0'; + textarea.style.opacity = '0'; + textarea.style.pointerEvents = 'none'; document.body.appendChild(textarea); - // Select and copy + // Focus and select the text + textarea.focus(); textarea.select(); - textarea.setSelectionRange(0, 99999); // For mobile devices + textarea.setSelectionRange(0, textarea.value.length); + + // Try to copy const success = document.execCommand('copy'); document.body.removeChild(textarea); @@ -731,22 +738,48 @@ export function ManageMembersModal({ throw new Error('No link received from server'); } - const copySuccess = await copyText(link); - if (copySuccess) { - setSuccess( - 'Join link copied to clipboard!
