vforvasile / rn-photos-framework Goto Github PK

Hello,
I am trying to use this library but when importing it and trying to use it I am getting this error: null is not an object (evaluating 'RNPFManager.requestAuthorization')
This is for an android app built with react native
I installed the library using: npm install rn-photos-framework

the code in which i am using it is:

import React, {useEffect} from 'react';
import {View, Text} from 'react-native';
import RNPhotosFramework from 'rn-photos-framework';
export default function AlbumsScreen() {

useEffect(() => {
RNPhotosFramework.requestAuthorization()
}, []);
return (
//
// Albums Screen
//
);
}

the dependencies i am using are:

"dependencies": {
"@react-native-community/masked-view": "^0.1.10",
"@react-navigation/native": "^5.6.1",
"@react-navigation/stack": "^5.6.2",

Hi!

About this warning:

In latest IOS versions (13.4+) the library acts strange if @react-native-community/cameraroll is linked
Use at your own risk!

What exactly is meant by that? Do you know what causes this?

I have cameraroll and this package linked on my project and there is conflict with PHAssetCollectionSubtype since both use it with RCT_ENUM_CONVERTER.

See: https://github.com/react-native-cameraroll/react-native-cameraroll/blob/39cc3b0fbc60530290ca88b5a7558c23cd1520bc/ios/RNCCameraRollManager.m#L27-L37

So I managed to get rid of that error by adding

typedef NS_ENUM(NSInteger, PHAssetFrameworkCollectionSubtype);

to RCTConvert+RNPhotosFramework.h.

And replaced all references to PHAssetCollectionSubtype with PHAssetFrameworkCollectionSubtype. It now has no error and everything seems to work fine.

Since I'm not familiar with objective-c, I'm not sure if this is correct nor best way to achieve this.

Maybe you can guide me? I would like to submit PR if I know I'm doing it correctly.

Please ignore, was able to fix the error.
