Hi @jamiechong
You're right. We don't manage caches. We are adding this request for a feasibility study and will get back to you with an update.
Thank you for this issue.
Hi @jamiechong
If you're still interested, we've just released version 0.29.0, which manages image caching. Activating the cache requires you to add expo-image to your project's list of dependencies.
Here's a demo github repo.
Please note the modification made to the component setup here.
If you have any problems or questions, please do not hesitate to contact us.
Happy coding.
My Expo based React Native app doesn't seem to want to cache the images. Every time I load the exact same image, the network tab in inspector is showing a network request for the same image.
I will note that even the Image imported from react-native behaves this way. But if I use Expo Image, caching works as expected.
Any thoughts on why caching is not working?
