Flutter: How to share PDF file to built inn apps like Whatsapp or email

I am developing an product information app, I need to share the spec PDF of the products, is there any way to do it. I use the package share_extend but while using this getting an exception

E/flutter (11283): [ERROR:flutter/lib/ui/ui_dart_state.cc(148)] Unhandled Exception: MissingPluginException(No implementation found for method share on channel com.zt.shareextend/share_extend)
E/flutter (11283): #0      MethodChannel.invokeMethod (package:flutter/src/services/platform_channel.dart:314:7)

This is my code

Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return Scaffold(
      floatingActionButton: FloatingActionButton(
        tooltip: 'Share File',
        onPressed: () async {


          var dir = await getApplicationDocumentsDirectory();
          File file = File('${dir.path}/${widget.product}.pdf');

          if (!await file.exists()) {
            await file.create(recursive: true);
            file.writeAsStringSync("test for share documents file");
          }

          ShareExtend.share(file.path, "file");


        },
        backgroundColor: Color(0xffECECEC),
        child: Icon(
          Icons.share,
          color: Color(0xff6F6F6F),
          size: 30.0,
        ),
      ),);
}

You can now use the Share plugin to do so!

ex:

Share.shareFiles(['${directory.path}/yourPdf.pdf'], text: 'Your PDF!');
