[dmsierra11]

Description

Error when trying to upload image from gallery

Running the example app of this repo gives me the same issue:

Simulator.Screen.Recording.-.iPhone.14.-.2023-04-21.at.09.42.45.mp4

How to repeat issue and example

const imagePickerDefaultOptions = {
  selectionLimit: 0,
  mediaType: 'photo' as MediaType,
  includeBase64: false,
  includeExtra: true,
};

launchImageLibrary(imagePickerDefaultOptions, (imgPickerResponse) => {
    if (imgPickerResponse.assets?.[0]) {
      onPhotoTaken(imgPickerResponse.assets?.[0]);
    }
  });

Same here - upgraded from react-native-image-picker 4.10.3 to 5.3.1.
It used to work in 4.10.3 both in Simulator and on real device (iPhone).
Now it stopped working. Going back to 4.10.3 for now.

[jeremiahlachica]

I also have the same issue. Currently using 5.3.1

Same error here, until this correction was made, I used lib react-native-image-crop-picker and implemented it as follows:

import ImageCropPicke from 'react-native-image-crop-picker';

ImageCropPicker.openPicker({
  mediaType: 'photo',
  cropping: false
})
   .then(data => console.log(data))
   .catch(error => console.log(error));

Had a similar result to Image Picker.

@dmsierra11 I believe the problem is here.

Successfully selected image:

{
  "fileName":"5693202E-E952-4C0D-A69B-2FF9B0F6C688.jpg",
  "fileSize":993045,
  "height":2500,
  "type":"image/jpg",
  "uri":"file:///Users/mayderson/Library/Developer/CoreSimulator/Devices/D555E641-C03B-407D-9251-28DBEF5BFEE6/data/Containers/Data/Application/D641C420-4AE4-49AB-A63B-5B05E88F59D7/tmp/5693202E-E952-4C0D-A69B-2FF9B0F6C688.jpg",
  "width":1668
}

Error selected image:

{
  "fileName":"B22A70A5-D144-4857-8249-97C1FDB3FAE1.jpg",
  "height":0,
  "type":"image/jpg",
  "uri":"file:///Users/mayderson/Library/Developer/CoreSimulator/Devices/D555E641-C03B-407D-9251-28DBEF5BFEE6/data/Containers/Data/Application/D641C420-4AE4-49AB-A63B-5B05E88F59D7/tmp/B22A70A5-D144-4857-8249-97C1FDB3FAE1.jpg",
  "width":0
}

In other words, the height and width attributes are coming with 0 and the fileSize is not coming, which is causing this problem.

[dmsierra11]

Thank you @maydersonmellops, I also noticed the 0 values on height and width, it looks like there is an error selecting the image from the library, only instead of giving an error on that part of the process it just gives the image path with these 0 values. Do you have any idea how to fix it? I hope the maintainer of this repo can give us some light on how to fix it. Meanwhile I will also try your suggestion and change to react-native-image-crop-picker

[dmsierra11]

@cokron it happens to me on 4.10.3 too, unfortunately.

[dmsierra11]

@maydersonmellops it actually happens the same to me with react-native-image-crop-picker

[bcgilliom]

Seems to only happen for me on the sim flower image (the one picked in the video above), which is marked as HDR and has image type of HEIC when viewed in the photos app

+1

[dmsierra11]

Yes @bcgilliom, you are totally right, it happens to me only on this picture too. I just don’t know why. FYI I tried with a different HEIC image and it worked.

I had a similar encounter with a captivating sunflower image. If anyone else has experienced this issue with different images, I would greatly appreciate it if you could kindly share your observations.

I had the same issue I believe its crashing for the image which are not available like the one that are on cloud. Once the cloud image is downloaded it does not crash.

[andresmejia3]

Is there any solution to this yet?

[andresmejia3]

Or any workaround?

[Acetyld]

Any work around?

[vksgautam1986]

3.6.0 is working fine but its quite older version

[jakobpesch]

Also happens in 5.4.0.

[NikitaRadzkov]

Also happens in 5.4.2

[dflm25]

@alizaib1217 Is there any way to don't show cloud images or to download them when picked, or any other solution?

[pnadj]

Same issue in 7.0.1

[samcodefish]

I have created a PR that hopefully fixes this issue. Any testing / feedback would be helpful.

[JB712]

Looking at @samcodefish PR and from my understanding of the problem, it seems that .heic files cannot be handled like .jpg files. When selecting a .heic file, the copy that you can access from launchImageLibrary response is a .jpg file (at least it is what I find in uri property) and that is why height, width, type and fileSize are wrong and you can't access it.

Unfortunately, your PR does not correct this behavior, I still got uri to a .jpg file that result in a bug ("Could not find image ...")

I just want to add that to get to this conclusion, I only used the .heic image from the iPhone 12 mini - iOS 16.2 emulator, the one that display flowers. Maybe it is different with a real device or with different images

EDIT:
It seems that

It's a known issue that the red flower image can't be selected using the simulator

I tried with an other heic file and it works fine (on simulator). Thanks Apple I guess 😒
