No documents listed on iOS

[saadalla]

I am using [react-native-document-picker] in react-native app.
The picking page is displayed but with no images on both simulator and real device, but I already have photos on my phone.
Help please

try {
const response = await DocumentPicker.pickSingle({
//type: DocumentPicker.types.images,
type: [DocumentPicker.types.allFiles],
});
if (debug) console.log(mod, caller+" =>", response);
} catch (err) {
console.log(mod, caller, err);
if (DocumentPicker.isCancel(err)) {
console.log(mod, caller+" => Cancel !!");
setImage(undefined);
return;
}
}
setImage(response);

Same. Nothing listed here.

Same here on iOS (android working perfectly fine). Is it a permission problem ?

EDIT: my bad, I didn't knew that what is in Photos app is not considered in Files. You have to transfer them manually (by clicking Share > Save to Files)

In my case, i'm trying to select an image to upload, so I just moved to this:
https://github.com/react-native-image-picker/react-native-image-picker

works like a charm.

Hello and thanks for asking,
closing as resolved.

document picker on ios is like the Files app. For images, there are other options like https://github.com/react-native-image-picker/react-native-image-picker

Thank you 🙂
