Question Game freezes after you cancel Android share intent

Hello,
a very specific question here... I'm trying to share an URL with the share intent in my WebGL game on Android. This is the code:

Code (JavaScript):

1.     ShareIntent: function(setUrl) {
2.         var shareData = {
3.             title: 'Invite a Friend',
4.             text: 'Come play with me in this game!',
5.             url: Pointer_stringify(setUrl),
6.         };
7.         try {
8.             navigator.share(shareData);
9.         } catch(err) {
10.             console.log("Browser doesn't support sharing: " + err);
11.         }
12.     }

It works like a charm... well almost. If I don't actually share the URL but tap on the background which closes the share overlay, the game doesn't resume but is frozen and you need to reload the website.
If you do actually share the URL you can go back to the website and it works normally.

Any idea how I could prevent the freeze on cancelling the share intent?

 

Ok so normally you would call the navigator.share with an "await" as an async function... but that doesn't work with WebGL. (Get a build error then). So does anyone have a workaround for that maybe?

 

Ok I've changed the call to:
navigator.share(shareData)
.then(function() {console.log("did share")})
.catch(function(error) {console.log("error: ",error)});
but with the same result. Another interesting find is that after reloading the page other JS functions seem to be broken... I'm using a JS plugin for TextInput fields on Mobile and that stops working once I've called the Navigator.Share function. Have to restart the whole browser to get it back to work. Oo

 

My guess is that the game canvas loses it's focus.
you can have an animation on the background, and you'll see that it still works. My guess is that only EventSystem and Touch/Mouse inputs won't work.

You'll need to find a solution to get back the focus

 

Thanks, that sounded plausible. Unfortunately after testing with an animation this doesn't seem to be the case. The animation stops when the share intent popup comes up and doesn't resum afterwards.

 

I've tried to do a reload with "document.location.reload()" after the share as a wonky workaround that you can at least continue playing. Unfortunately that results in a Runtime Error Memory Access out of Bounds on some devices.
