70 share taps in 3 days and 0 visits from them, because the Android app was quietly copying to clipboard
70 share button taps over three days. Zero people came in from a shared link, zero shared links even opened. 42 of those taps were in the Android app The app runs the game in a webview and navigator.share just doesn’t exist there. So it fell back to copying the text to the clipboard with no sheet and no message. People tapped share, saw nothing happen and moved on. I only ever tested sharing in a browser where the sheet pops up fine, so I never saw it Last week I already thought I’d fixed this. 130 shares, 0 visits, and the cause was me stripping the url params before analytics read them. Fixed that and it was still 0. There were two bugs stacked on top of each other The app calls the native share sheet now, and a game that calls navigator.share directly inside the app gets blocked before release. It’s a native plugin so it only lands with the next app build The game is One Life: Reborn Simulator. Your birth country gets rolled from UN 2024 birth stats across 124 countries, no rerolls, and if you send your end card to a friend they start with the same birth.
