same problem

I got this problem as well. But I dont think it is an issue with vue-social-sharing. The nuxt support is for Nuxt 2 if I understand it correctly. In Nuxt 3 it is possible to simply register the Vue plugin directly:

Create a new file in the plugins folder.
Register the vue-social-sharing plugin (not the vue-social-sharing/nuxt):

See: https://nuxt.com/docs/guide/directory-structure/plugins#vue-plugins

This will work:
plugins/vue-social-sharing.client.js:

import VueSocialSharing from 'vue-social-sharing';
export default defineNuxtPlugin((nuxtApp) => {
  nuxtApp.vueApp.use(VueSocialSharing);
});

If using SSR make sure to wrap it in a ClientOnly tag to avoid it getting rendered twice.

<ClientOnly>
  <ShareNetwork
    network="twitter"
    url="https://news.vuejs.org/issues/180"
  >
    <span>Share on Twitter</span>
  </ShareNetwork>
</ClientOnly>

follow these steps:

Install the specified version by running either of the following commands:

Using Yarn: yarn add vue-social-sharing@next
Using npm: npm install --save vue-social-sharing@next

Version to install:
For Vue 3, Nuxt3: "vue-social-sharing": "^4.0.0-alpha4"

Utilize it as a plugin in Nuxt, rather than a module.
If you encounter any issues, you can resolve them by creating a custom plugin. Follow these steps:

Create a new file in the "/plugins" directory named "vue-social-sharing.client.ts".

Insert the following content into the file:

import VueSocialSharing from "vue-social-sharing";

export default defineNuxtPlugin((nuxtApp) => {
  nuxtApp.vueApp.use(VueSocialSharing);
});

I had this problem, too.
If i don't add "vue-social-sharing/nuxt" line to nuxt.config.ts, it works.

[AndreaKocsis]

If you see it:
A plugin must either be a function or an object with an "install" function

Change vue-social-sharing.ts to this:

import VueSocialSharing from 'vue-social-sharing/src/vue-social-sharing'

export default defineNuxtPlugin((nuxtApp) => {
  nuxtApp.vueApp.use(VueSocialSharing)
})

in nuxt.config.js add vuesocialsharing in build transpile like below

build: {
transpile: ["vuesocialsharing", ...],
...
}

and create plugin vuesocialsharing.client.js
just copy paste below code

---

import { defineNuxtPlugin } from "#app";
import VueSocialSharing from 'vue-social-sharing';

export default defineNuxtPlugin((nuxtApp) => {
nuxtApp.vueApp.use(VueSocialSharing);
});

this is useful for me.
