Please help me solving this error. I have been trying for a week.

Possible Unhandled Promise Rejection (id: 1): TypeError: null is not an object (evaluating 'RNDocumentPicker.pick')

This happens in IOS simulator only

Answer 1 · 2019-10-21T13:28:11.000Z

If that's all you have after a week I don't believe you 😁

Answer 2 · 2019-10-22T04:42:51.000Z

Well this is what is actually happening. I even deleted my project and used the backup to install again, but still the same issue in IOS.

Answer 3 · 2019-10-24T13:32:37.000Z

@aasalshehhi did you upgrade to > RN.60? The new binding system could mess with you.

Answer 4 · 2019-11-05T09:47:59.000Z

@aasalshehhi
had the same warning, forgot to run cd ios && pod install && cd ...
Close the app and the packager and restart.

Hello ! Please help me solving this error
[Unhandled promise rejection: TypeError: undefined is not an object (evaluating '_expoDocumentPicker.DocumentPicker.getDocumentAsync')]

Answer 6 · 2019-11-21T10:21:54.000Z

@themanpur, this is not the right repo, you are using Expo's documentPicker https://docs.expo.io/versions/latest/sdk/document-picker/

maybe you can find some help here https://github.com/expo/expo/tree/master/packages/expo-document-picker

Answer 7 · 2020-01-14T13:16:22.000Z

Same is still happening in case of running the app in android in debugging. whereas the app in release mode is working fine.

in "react-native-document-picker": "^3.2.4"
"react-native": "0.61.5"

Answer 8 · 2020-07-02T08:37:38.000Z

This seems to happen only on the device emulators. When running on a real device it works fine.

Did anyone find solution to this? I am facing this issue as well.

Answer 18 · 2021-01-21T16:40:43.000Z

In my case the issue was:
pod 'react-native-document-picker', path: '../node_modules/react-native-document-picker'
line that was not automatically added to Podfile (although React Native version we use is 0.61.2) so Pod didn't get installed.

After I have added the line manually and rerun cd ios && pod install && cd .. it worked perfectly.

Answer 24 · 2021-10-13T16:26:05.000Z

Which device are you using OziTFA? The error occurs on all emulators in my testing, but I have also tested on two devices and it does not occur on either. (A Motorola and a Huawei.)

Answer 25 · 2021-10-13T16:29:48.000Z

Actually it is okay now. It was because of other lib conflict etc 👍🏻

Could you tell us what you did to solve it? Having the same issue here

Answer 27 · 2022-02-07T23:58:58.000Z

I know I'm late to the party, but I had the same issue and managed to fix it.
I think the problem is you need to rebuild the java portion of the application and to achieve this I simply had to shut down my virtual device and restarted it with npx react-native run-android from the project folder.

Answer 28 · 2022-02-20T10:01:12.000Z
