I'm having an issue with ionic 3.

this.photoLibrary.requestAuthorization() It never show the pop up, to give access.

[alimardani]

I have the same problem. this.photoLibrary.requestAuthorization() is not showing a pop up on ios 11.It always goes to catch block

this.photoLibrary.requestAuthorization().then(() => {
            this.photoLibrary.getLibrary().subscribe({
                next: library => {
                    library.forEach(function (libraryItem) {
                        console.log(libraryItem.photoURL);  
                    });
                },
                error: err => {
                    console.log('could not get photos');
                },
                complete: () => {
                    console.log('done getting photos');
                }
            });
        }).catch(err => {
                console.log('permissions weren\'t granted');
            });

Also on the android 4.4.2 it loads all the photos without asking permission. Is there anybody knows the reason?

Thanks

Hey, I have the same problem with this.photoLibrary.requestAuthorization() and it is not allowing permissions, I'm running my App on Ionic DevApp to download images to PhotoLibrary, please help me to fix this issue.

Hey :)

For my self, it was a miss parameter in my config.xml (ionic 2). Then it works fine on iOS (after ionic cordova platform update ios <-- I'm not really sure, it was 4 month ago)

<?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?>
<widget id="fr.juks.app" version="1.0.10" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/ns/widgets" xmlns:cdv="http://cordova.apache.org/ns/1.0">
    <!-- some data -->

    <plugin name="cordova-plugin-photo-library" spec="^2.1.0">
        <variable name="PHOTO_LIBRARY_USAGE_DESCRIPTION" value="To choose photos for profile or after your runs" />

    </plugin>
</widget>

Thank you, this really helpful , it seems the plugin take long time to read photos and some times the view is displayed blank ,especially if you have long list of photos in your device

Yes I view it to. For my self, I choose a simple solution to prevent that :

• User click on button (to choose photo)
• Loading popup is displayed
• Loading end, viewing library page is displayed and loading hide

I will test soon to display photos 10 by 10 to test if retrieve them is more powerfull :)

The button is only a function call that make a copy sub array of original photos array.

I will leave a feedback soon about that ;)

[Servuc]

Little update :)

I've check to display only 10 by 10 photos, It's better :D

this.photos = this.originalPhotosArray.splice(0, 10); 
// change 0 and 10 on button clicked

My HTML :

<div *ngFor="let photo of photos>
    <img [src]="photo.thumbnailURL" />
</div>

[alkahtani]

i tried to have all the image in DOM and then read 10 by 10 it works great but the problem in the first load , since it reads all the photos

[Servuc]

For my self, photos load only if I set app down (background, not exit) and I re-open it (foreground).

So my solution, this is not very good but it works :

On page A :

• Load photos
• When all photos load event fire, I make this.navController.push( PhotoLibraryPage, {param_photos: photos_from_fired_parameter_event

On page B ( PhotoLibraryPage ), in constructor, I just use this.navParams.get("param_photos")

I got into the same issue. On iOS 11 this.photoLibrary.requestAuthorization() always throws an error.

[kennethross]

Same here. this.photoLibrary.requestAuthorization() throwing an error.

[eatmyball]
