Hey make sure to check out the following: https://github.com/ivpusic/react-native-image-crop-picker#important-notes I had to install version 0.38 to make the image picker work again.

edit: Alternatively you can add this <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_MEDIA_IMAGES" /> to your AndroidManifest.xml

edit: Alternatively you can add this <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_MEDIA_IMAGES" /> to your AndroidManifest.xml

This should be added to the installation guide!

This was a lifesaver and they should include it in the documentation. Thanks!

Did you downgrade it? I have the sdk version set to 33 and crop picker version is 0.40 but still needed to add the permission to work.

[tribeless]

Had to upgrade to 0.38.1 for this to work, had all the permissions in the manifest file. Target sdk 33

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_MEDIA_AUDIO" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_MEDIA_VIDEO" />

I was having same issue using 0.26.1 with rn 0.73.4, had to add

1. add manifest permission:
2. upgrade to 0.41.2 (latest to the time)

[Shivangi2909]

With above permission, the feature works as expected on Android 13 and above but while submitting to playstore, they are considering it as app violation saying:

Photo and Video Permissions policy: Permission use is not directly related to your app’s core purpose.

Can anyone help with this please.
