Either follow the instructions in the React Native documentation to manually link the framework or link using Cocoapods by adding this to your Podfile:

`ruby
pod 'react-native-image-picker-ios', :path => '../node_modules/@react-native-community/image-picker-ios'
`

Migrating from the core react-native module

`javascript
import { ImagePickerIOS } from "react-native";
`

to:

`javascript
import ImagePickerIOS from "@react-native-community/image-picker-ios";
`

Note that the API was updated after it was extracted from ImagePickerIOS to support some new features, however, the previous API is still available and works with no updates to your code.

Usage

`javascript
import ImagePickerIOS from "@react-native-community/image-picker-ios";
`

Can you use the camera:

`javascript
ImagePickerIOS.canUseCamera(canUseCamera => {
console.log("canUseCamera", canUseCamera);
});
`

Can you record videos:

`javascript
ImagePickerIOS.canRecordVideos(canRecordVideos => {
console.log("canRecordVideos", canRecordVideos);
});
`

$3

#### canUseCamera()

Executes a callback with the a boolean value stating whether or not you can use the camera.

Example:
`javascript
ImagePickerIOS.canUseCamera(canUseCamera => {
console.log("canUseCamera", canUseCamera);
});
`

#### canRecordVideos()

Executes a callback with the a boolean value stating whether or not you can record videos.

Example:
`javascript
ImagePickerIOS.canRecordVideos(canRecordVideos => {
console.log("canRecordVideos", canRecordVideos);
});
`

#### openCameraDialog()

Opens the camera dialog with the specified OpenCameraDialogOptions and two callbacks, one for success and one for cancel.

Example:
`javascript
ImagePickerIOS.openCameraDialog({
unmirrorFrontFacingCamera: false
videoMode: false
}, () => {
// success
}, (error) => {
// cancel
});
`

#### openSelectDialog()

Opens the camera dialog with the specified OpenSelectDialogOptions and two callbacks, one for success and one for cancel.

Example:
`javascript
ImagePickerIOS.openCameraDialog({
showImages: true,
showVideos: false
}, (imageUrl, height, width) => {
// success
}, (error) => {
// cancel
});
`


Troubleshooting

$3

If you do not have a Jest Setup file configured, you should add the following to your Jest settings and create the jest.setup.js file in project root:

`js
setupFiles: ['/jest.setup.js']
`

You should then add the following to your Jest setup file to mock the ImagePickerIOS Native Module:

`js
import { NativeModules } from 'react-native';

NativeModules.RNCImagePickerIOS = {
canRecordVideos: jest.fn(),
canUseCamera: jest.fn(),
openCameraDialog: jest.fn(),
openSelectDialog: jest.fn(),
};
`

$3

As your simulator doesn't have a camera, there is no way to open the camera on the simulator.
