Consider adding a note to developers in the Social Popup plugin page that this plugin is not for use in Apple iOS 8+. As quoted by Rob further below in the forum, Apple recommends using the Activity plugin.

I coded in the Social Popup not knowing this, and had an error on device that on iOS it never recognizes social apps are installed with native.canShowPopup() method. I am going in now to add code to recognize if Android or iOS and use either depending.

Docs for Social Popup plugin:
https://docs.coronalabs.com/plugin/CoronaProvider_native_popup_social/index.html

Mention by Rob to use Activity plugin for Apple iOS 8+ by Rob:
The social popup on iOS is really a pre-iOS 8 feature. Starting with iOS 8, Apple wants you to use the “Activity” plugin. It’s possible that iOS 11 has in some way broken the the API that canShowPopup depends on.

Do you think it would be a good idea to remove iOS from the platforms supported on Social Popup, since iOS 8 is no longer supported, and add a link to the Activity Popup plugin from that page? @Shchvova I'd also like your input on this.

This is long overdue and I'm really sorry about that. It should be fixed when #155 is merged.
