App crashes on picking HEIC image

Expo SDK

  1. SDK Version: 44
  2. Platforms(Android/iOS/web/all): iOS
  3. Workflow: Managed
  4. Module: expo-image-picker

We are using expo-image-picker. When we are trying to upload a HEIC image file from iOS device, the app is crashing.

    const result = await ImagePicker.launchImageLibraryAsync({
      mediaTypes: ImagePicker.MediaTypeOptions.Images,
      aspect: [1, 1],
      allowsEditing: true,
      quality: 1,
      presentationStyle: 0,
    });

Tried to console log the result but it returns nothing in case of HEIC image.

Reproducible demo

Try selecting a HEIC image and it’ll crash.

Created an issue also on Github #16483

Hey @germavinsmoke, thanks for bringing this to our attention. I was going to suggest creating a github issue but you’ve beaten me to it! We’ll focus our attention there rather than this post.

Cheers,
Adam

set the allowsEditing to false or just get rid of it. it will stop the crash but you can’t crop or edit an image.
