Remove photo

[skeie]

Hi,

I have this url assets-library://asset/asset.JPG?id=F970CE98-0BB8-400B-B4C8-AF7A938CF775&ext=JPG which I am trying to delete, which i get from react-native-camera

I tried to prefix it with both LibraryDirectoryPath and DocumentDirectoryPath, and without a prefix. The catch method is invoked and the err.message tells me that the file does not exist.

Any suggestion on how to use fs to delete the photo?

Hey, a little bit of research turned up that there is no ability on iOS < 8 to delete an image from the camera roll. According to https://developer.apple.com/library/ios/documentation/Photos/Reference/PHAssetChangeRequest_Class/index.html#//apple_ref/occ/clm/PHAssetChangeRequest/deleteAssets you can do this in newer iOS versions but you will need permission from the user to do so. I feel that this is a bit out of the scope of this library though.
