A React Native module that allows you to select a photo/video from the device library or camera.

yarn add react-native-image-picker

To take advantage of the new architecture run-

RCT_NEW_ARCH_ENABLED=1 npx pod-install ios

SetnewArchEnabled totrue insideandroid/gradle.properties

npx pod-install ios

Add the appropriate keys to yourInfo.plist depending on your requirement:

No permissions required (saveToPhotos requires permissioncheck).

Note: This library does not requireManifest.permission.CAMERA, if your app declares as using this permission in manifest then you have to obtain the permission before usinglaunchCamera.

If your app'sminSdkVersion is set to below 30 and it does not already include or depend onandroidx.activity:activity:1.9.+ or a newer version, you'll need to add the following line to the dependencies section of yourapp/build.gradle file to ensure support for the backported AndroidX Photo Picker:

dependencies {...    implementation("androidx.activity:activity:1.9.+")...}

Additionally, you may need to update yourAndroidManifest.xml to trigger the installation of the backported Photo Picker. For reference, you can check the example app's configuration inexample/android/app/src/main/AndroidManifest.xml andexample/android/app/build.gradle.

For more details, consult the Android documentation on AndroidX Photo Picker:https://developer.android.com/training/data-storage/shared/photopicker

Image/video captured via camera will be stored in temporary folder allowing it to be deleted any time, so don't expect it to persist. UsesaveToPhotos: true (default isfalse) to save the file in the public photos.saveToPhotos requiresWRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE permission on Android 28 and below (The permission has to obtained by the App manually as the library does not handle that).

For web, this doesn't work.
