At least if there was an option to re-request the permission.

@Kiura hi, have you find a workaround for this issue? facing the same issue too

[Kiura]

@rzdev, Hi, I used react-native-image-picker to pick the images on iOS and after the user selects the image I use this library to allow users to crop the image.

@rzdev, Hi, I used react-native-image-picker to pick the images on iOS and after the user selects the image I use this library to allow users to crop the image.

How do you use this library to crop the image from the other library? I don't see the code that allows you to use other file sources within this library. What's your method?

[Kiura]

I use the library to pick the image using this method: launchImageLibrary, Then I user ImagePicker.openCropper to crop the image

launchImageLibrary({...},
  async data => {
    if (!data || !data.assets || data.assets.length === 0 && data.didCancel) return;
    const asset = data.assets[0];
    const path = asset.uri || '';
    // TODO: a hack to make the cropper work
    await sleep(500);
    const image = await ImagePicker.openCropper({
      path: path,
      ...
    });
  },
);
