selectPrinter not launching about react-native-print HOT 10 CLOSED

I’ll have to get my hands on and iPad to test.

from react-native-print.

@christopherdro This can be replicated on the iOS simulator
I believe it's due to UIPRinterPickerController presentAnimated: works on iPhone but unfortunately not iPad.

Seems it needs to be passed a view but I couldn't figure out how to work with the RCT bridge for it (also never touched objective-c).

Just pushed a PR for this: #41

from react-native-print.

I just downloaded this update and rebuilt my project but the dialog still doesn't appear. Has it's implementation changed?

from react-native-print.

Have you also updated #43? Wrong print data will be silently ignored otherwise.

from react-native-print.

This method is just to select the printer, no data is passed?

  selectPrinter = async () => {
    const selectedPrinter = await RNPrint.selectPrinter()
    this.setState({ selectedPrinter })
  }

I can see that it goes into the ipad code for selectPrinter, but nothing comes up on screen. Unfortunately I don't know Objective C so unable to help debug beyond trying to move pieces around.

The dialogue does pop up with you just try and print (and has always been fine)

from react-native-print.

I'm able to see the dialog from selectPrinter on iPad simulator

from react-native-print.

I just tried on my barebones side project and nothing. I'll try on a fresh build.

I'm using iOS simulator 10, with iOS 11.2

Is there any information I can give that'd be useful? I've put in NSLogs and I see the code run, but no popup thus no completion handler, goes straight through that. However I do get these, but I think just warnings:

Please try running the example.

The example only works for me if the app is built as iPhone. However if you build with deployment info devices to universale of iPad it didn't work.

Thanks for getting back to me
