Expected behaviour

Module works

Actual behaviour

Module fails to launch with error:
TypeError: null is not an object (evaluating 'ImageCropPicker.openPicker')

I can import the module with no issues. As soon as I add any reference to it in my code (I don't even have to call it, just include it in the code) I get the above error and the app completely fails to launch as it will break AppRegistry. For example, I've got a button onclick listener which is attempting to launch the image picker:

  const openPicker = () => {
    ImagePicker.openPicker({
      width: 255,
      height: 156,
      cropping: true,
    }).then(image => {
      console.log(image);
    });
  };
....
<TouchableOpacity style={styles.buttonStyle} onPress={() => openPicker()} />

I have to completely remove the reference to ImagePicker here or the code will not compile and just spits out errors - I've never encountered anything like this before, usually it won't error until I call the failing method!

Steps to reproduce

1. Follow install instructions

2. Run App on Android

Other info

I'm attempting to run this in a hybrid app (native app implementing some RN screens) but that should not be causing any problems here - everything works perfectly fine until I attempt to use this library. It is working without issue on iOS.

Have followed the additional instructions for installing in the readme.

I have attempted full cleans of the build, caches, node_modules, etc. but no luck.

Solved it. I had to manually add PickerPackage to the list of RN packages. No idea why this isn't automatically being handled, I have not had this problem with any other packages.

Closing issue..

Hello.
I have the same problem. Can you please write more information how you fixed this? Where I need to add PickerPackage?

[fukemy]

exactly same problem when import ImagePicker from 'react-native-image-crop-picker';

I managed to avoid this issue on iOS by manually adding

pod 'RNImageCropPicker', :path => '../node_modules/react-native-image-crop-picker'

to my pod file and then running pod install

hope it might help

Hi,
Can you elaborate on what you meant by "manually add PickerPackage to the list of RN packages"?
