[ramijos]

Hello,
didi this API still working, please tell me and help solve this issue

[jadtay]

Also am having this problem when trying to implement the example code

[ramijos]

oufff!! i have finally found a solution that has worked for me:
1- Edit the gradle file : "project_name\android\build.gradle":
buildscript {
ext {
buildToolsVersion = "29.0.2"
minSdkVersion = 21
compileSdkVersion = 29
targetSdkVersion = 29
}
#to avoid error: use a compatible library with a minsdk of at most 16

2- uninstall the lastest image-picker module and install the old one:
- npm uninstall react-native-image-picker
- npm install react-native-image-picker@2.3.4 --save
- react-native link react-native-image-picker
- npx react-native start --reset-cache

3- edit permissions:
- ios: ios/project_name/Info.plist


...
NSPhotoLibraryUsageDescription
$(PRODUCT_NAME) voudrait accéder à votre galerie photo
NSCameraUsageDescription
$(PRODUCT_NAME) voudrait utiliser votre caméra
NSPhotoLibraryAddUsageDescription
$(PRODUCT_NAME) voudrait enregistrer des photos dans votre galerie photo
NSMicrophoneUsageDescription
$(PRODUCT_NAME) voudrait accéder à votre micro (pour les vidéos)


- android: /android/app/src/main/AndroidManifest.xml

                         <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.CAMERA" />
                        <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE"/>

4- compile app : npx react-native run-android
ps: use this doc for usage: https://github.com/react-native-image-picker/react-native-image-picker

The latest version works just fine and is used in production daily.
