[Android][ImagePicker] launchImageLibraryAsync doesn't return

🐛 Bug Report

launchImageLibraryAsync only returning/completing some of the time, in most cases nothing happens once selecting an image.

Steps to Reproduce

I am simply pressing a button which launches the imagePicker and selecting an image and then saving the result to state. I am also console logging the result to check.

Expected Behavior

I expect some data to be logged to the console and the state to be updated with the imagePicker image result

Actual Behavior

The modal for selecting the image goes away, but no data is output to the console and the state isnt updated with the imagePicker result

I needed to download the update to Expo, I got it from the playstore originally, and it was version 2.12.0 - I updated to 2.12.2, but still the same issue. The phone version is android 8, all patches up to date.

I have a radio button component on a page where I choose an image source; from gallery, camera or file. I use the image picker for the first 2 choices and the document picker for the 3rd.

Doc picker worked every time. Image picker worked once or twice, then nothing unless I canceled the action. Imagepicker version was 6.0.0, doc picker is 6.0.0 as well. Only way to get it to work was to reboot the mobile device I was testing on. After updating to 2.12.2 I was able to do 5 or 6 straight image uploads and 5 to 6 camera uploads, so I think that was my issue. Thanks for helping me get through that!

Just tested this on an emulator (Android 9) and it’s working each time. Will need to repro this before we can look into this properly (please use the snack I linked above since it’s working for me). Couple things:

• make sure you’ve updated the Expo Client app (you should us v2.12.2)
• I’m using “expo-image-picker”: “~6.0.0”, you can install it with expo install expo-image-picker
• If this only happens sometimes, then let me know how many times you usually have to launch ImagePicker before the crash happens (I launched and selected about 10 times in a row and didn’t see any issues)
