Doesn't get anything on iOS

[kartagis]

Hello, Although the code at https://jsfiddle.net/kartagis/pjdqp3ku/6/ loads up the images instantly on Android, it stalls at ActivityIndicator.show()on iOS, resulting in not showing any images.

Should be permission issue. If a call to getLibrary returns permission error, you should call requestAuthorization. Something like this:

cordova.plugins.photoLibrary.getLibrary(
  function (library) { },
  function (err) {
    if (err.startsWith('Permission')) {
      // call requestAuthorization, and retry
    }
    // Handle error - it's not permission-related
  }
);

Isn't this what --variable PHOTOLIBRARY_USAGE_DESCRIPTION='' does?

@kartagis all that does is set the message that will be shown on permission prompt. I havent tried this plugin yet but I think @viskin is right. Try querying for permission again.

@viskin @cozzbie aye, it was permission issue. After I use requestAuthorization, how do retry reading the library? getLibrary again?

[kartagis]

I tried requestAuthorization, and called getLibrary in the callback, but it's way too slow on iOS. 19204ms to be precise (if not more).

Wow, 20sec...

1. Is it time getLibrary method runs, or also retrieving thumbnails?
2. How many photos are on your device?

[kartagis]

1- It's only the time getLibrary runs 2- There are 1185 photos on my device

Moving to the other issue, as this is no more relevant
