ImagePicker returns null for bae64 on Android

[iroman777]

Please provide the following:

1. SDK Version: 40
2. Platforms(Android/iOS/web/all): Android

My Code:

let result = await ImagePicker.launchImageLibraryAsync({
                mediaTypes: ImagePicker.MediaTypeOptions.Images,
                base64: true,
                allowsEditing: true,
                // aspect: [4, 3],
                quality: 1,
            });
          if (!result.cancelled) {

                alert(result.base64);
            }

result.base64 is undefined

Hey @iroman777, I’m running your code in a new local project and I’m getting base64 values as expected. Can you let me know what environment you are testing with? Also, could you investigate and see if the issue mentioned here might be involved? ImagePicker - Expo Documentation

Cheers,
Adam
