Activity started without an EXTRA_ACCOUNT when using native sharing on GooglePlus SDK

Question

I have a Google+ connection in my app, and when I try to get the user's information with a Person Object, everything works just fine.

but when I'm using the Share dialog as stated in the documentation, I get a crash in the G+ library.

here is the code I'm using for this:

Intent shareIntent = new PlusShare.Builder(getActivity())
                .setType("text/plain")
                .setText(getString(R.string.application_sharing_default_share_with_friends))
                .setContentUrl(Uri.parse(shareLink))
                .getIntent();
startActivityForResult(shareIntent, 0);

and when I run this all I get is this error and crash:

This was a bug in the Google+ app that is fixed in the latest build that came out today: https://plus.google.com/101870761930221849874/posts/KohXe9pBGF6 Sorry about that.
