React native image picker is not selecting video from library in iOS 13 or higher

React native image picker with version 0.28.0, react native 0.59.5 and iOS version less than 13 was working fine. But after upgrade to iOS 13+, it does't select videos from library and returns permission error in response.How to achieve specific?

Solution

  • As in apple's latest iOS update 13 or 13+, it clearly states Privacy and Security update but does't disclose any documentation at spot. Earlier react-native-image-picker used to move item from local directories while selecting a video from library. But this update restricted to copy item from local directory instead of moving.

    I fixed it by changing moveItemAtURL to copyItemAtURL at line 459 on ImagePickerManager.m
