Installing with ExpoKit gives "null is not an object(evaluating RNPhotoEditor.Edit)" error

[SamyOptimize]

I've been trying to install this library for the past 2 days and trying most fixes and workarounds that i've found. But the more fixes and workarounds i try the more errors i run into.

I followed the instructions in the README file and did everything as stated but as soon as i try to use RNPhotoEditor.edit i get the error in the title. I found out that the RNPhotoEditor error is not the one from this library but from the the one used inside the library that's imported from const { RNPhotoEditor } = NativeModules; which returns RNPhotoEditor as null.

I'm using an ejected Expo project with ExpoKit and i'm not sure if that's the problem or not.

The error is also on android but i did most of my searches for IOS and xcode

The above podfile throws a

The 'Pods-PROJECTNAME' target has transitive dependencies that include statically linked binaries: (/Users/{USERNAME}/../../{PROJECT_NAME}/ios/Pods/Crashlytics/iOS/Crashlytics.framework, /Users/{USERNAME}/../../{PROJECT_NAME}/ios/Pods/GoogleMaps/Base/Frameworks/GoogleMapsBase.framework, /Users/{USERNAME}/../../{PROJECT_NAME}/ios/Pods/GoogleMaps/Maps/Frameworks/GoogleMaps.framework, and /Users/{USERNAME}/../../{PROJECT_NAME}/ios/Pods/GoogleMaps/Maps/Frameworks/GoogleMapsCore.framework)

So i tried the fix from beobungbu Which fixed the error from popping up when i use pod update but when I try to build the app from Xcode i get another error saying /Users/{USERNAME}/../../{PROJECT_NAME}/node_modules/unimodules-permissions-interface/ios/UMPermissionsInterface/UMPermissionsInterface.h:4:9: 'UMCore/UMModuleRegistry.h' file not found

I saw issue 6477 on expo which supposedly fixes the problem but i don't think it released yet.

so I tried hyukher's fix which got rid of the error but then I ran into more errors when i tried to build again.

So i'm currently at a dead end and I was hoping i could get some help.
