Can't select iCloud images

I know this has been covered before here and here but both issues are closed and the provided solution doesn’t work for me.

When selecting an image stored in iCloud, .getImage() fails with “Error: The image could not be created.”

context
  .authorize()
  .then(function() {
    return context.present();
  })
  .then(function(selection) {
    console.log("Selection done:");

    selection.forEach(function(selected) {
      console.log(" - " + selected.uri);

      selected.getImage().then(function(imagesource) {
        console.log('selected.getImage() - success');

      }).catch(function(error) {
        console.log(error); // => Error: The image could not be created.
      });
    });
  }).catch(function(e) {
    console.log(e);
  });

Am I doing something incorrectly?

Thanks

I did some digging, and for me it started to work after small update to imagepicker.ios.ts. I’ve created PR for that #121 I hope this will help 😃

Seems like there is a pending PR that would solve the problem on the underlying library, QBImagePicker. But that library hasn’t been updated in a few years 😕
