Expo image picker not working

This code works fine in android devices, but in ios the picker/camera open for few seconds and then automatically closed.

any help?

 _openCamera = async () =>{
    this._toggleModal(false);
    let permission = await this._cameraPermission()
    if(permission){
      let result = await ImagePicker.launchCameraAsync({
        allowsEditing: true,
        aspect: [3, 4]
      })
      console.log(result);
      this._uploadPhoto(result)
    } else {
      this.refs.popupComponent.showPopupMessage("Need Permission", "Close");
      console.log("Need Permission")
    }
  }

  _cameraPermission = async () => {
    status = await Permissions.getAsync(Permissions.CAMERA);
    let statusCamera = status.status;
    console.log("statusCameraRoll: ", statusCamera);
    if (statusCamera !== "granted") {
      console.log("Requesting Notification Permissions");
      status = await Permissions.askAsync(Permissions.CAMERA);
      statusCamera = status.status;
      if(statusCamera != '"granted"')
        return false
      else {
          let status_new = await Permissions.getAsync(Permissions.CAMERA_ROLL);
          let statusCameraRoll = status_new.status;
          if (statusCameraRoll !== "granted") {
            status_new = await Permissions.askAsync(Permissions.CAMERA_ROLL);
            statusCameraRoll = status_new.status
            if (statusCameraRoll !== "granted") 
              return false
            else
              return true
          }  
          else
            return true
        }
    } 
    else {
        let status_new = await Permissions.getAsync(Permissions.CAMERA_ROLL);
        let statusCameraRoll = status_new.status;
        if (statusCameraRoll !== "granted") {

            return true
        }
        else
          return true
    }
      
  }
  _picClickHandler = async () => {
    this._toggleModal(false);
    let permission = await this._galleryPermission()
    setTimeout
    if(permission){
      let result =  ImagePicker.launchImageLibraryAsync({
        aspect: [4, 3],
        base64: false,
      });
      console.log(result);
      this._uploadPhoto(result)
    } else {
      this.refs.popupComponent.showPopupMessage("Need Permission", "Close");
      console.log("Need Permission")
    }
  };

Same issue. Did you solve your problem?

Hi guys, sorry you’re having an issue with this.

Using the example snack from the API page, do you still see a crash? If you can, link me a snack that I can try to see if I get the same error on!

@charliecruzan thanks for your snack

fixed the issue by removing the async setState statement invocation just before invoking the imagepicker
