Creating A Share Button Using Flutter for iOS and Android?

I'm converting some older Swift apps with Flutter. How can I create a "share" button using flutter that at least gets Facebook and Twitter and make it cross platform for my iOS and Android versions. Here is the Swift code I use....

let activityViewController : UIActivityViewController = UIActivityViewController(
            activityItems: [firstActivityItem, secondActivityItem, image], applicationActivities: nil)

        // This lines is for the popover you need to show in iPad
        activityViewController.popoverPresentationController?.sourceView = (self.shareBTN)

        // This line remove the arrow of the popover to show in iPad
        activityViewController.popoverPresentationController?.permittedArrowDirections = UIPopoverArrowDirection()
        activityViewController.popoverPresentationController?.sourceRect = CGRect(x: 150, y: 150, width: 0, height: 0)
        actInd.stopAnimating()
        self.present(activityViewController, animated: true, completion: nil)

As of Oct 2018, the best way I found was from this SO post here How do I share an image on iOS and Android using Flutter? that requires you use the File Provider package and know a little about Android Studio customization. Look for the answer from Albert Lardizabal. Looks like he may be part of the team that made the awesome "Hamilton" Flutter app.

Check out the Flutter share plugin -- it might have what you need.
