Better documentation - here's how you REALLY install [iOS]

This should be added to the documentation. It’s much more clear and will save headaches in debugging issues.

1. Enable cloud capabilities If you have automatic code signing, this will be created and handled for you. It’s important to check the boxes exactly as shown in the picture.

2. Run npm install git://github.com/Elyx0/react-native-document-picker.git#v3 --save This installs the latest updates in the document picker.

3. Run react-native link Links android modules, I honestly don’t think it does anything for iOS but may as well run it anyway.

4. Open your project in XCode, right click on Libraries and click Add Files to "Your Project Name"

5. Add libRNDocumentPicker.a to Build Phases -> Link Binary With Libraries

6. Now, restart your entire simulator, packager, debugger etc (quit out of running stuff and rerun it)

7. Should be done and working now.

For testing purposes, if you want to see if it is working, try the following react-native code: console.log(DocumentPicker)

try {
    const res = DocumentPicker.pick({
        type: [DocumentPicker.types.images],
    });
    console.log(
        res.uri,
        res.type, // mime type
        res.name,
        res.size
    );
} catch ( err ) {
    if ( DocumentPicker.isCancel(err) ) {
        // User cancelled the picker, exit any dialogs or menus and move on
    } else {
        throw err;
    }
}

What finally worked for me was installing with cocoa pods and then changing my code to:

var DocumentPicker = require('react-native-document-picker');

DocumentPicker.default.pick({
                            type: [DocumentPicker.default.types.allFiles],
                          },(error,res) => {
                            // Android
                            console.log(
                              "Okay Bhai error paichi Document Picker e: ",
                              res.uri,
                              res.type,
                              res.fileName,
                              res.fileSize
                            );
                          })

@GrishmaM if you’re getting that error, add this to your Podfile (in the iOS folder). This should be added to your target scheme

target 'MyApp' do
    # Uncomment the next line if you're using Swift or would like to use dynamic frameworks
    # use_frameworks!

    # Pods for MyApp
    rn_path = '../node_modules/react-native'
    pod 'yoga', path: "#{rn_path}/ReactCommon/yoga/yoga.podspec"
    pod 'React', path: rn_path, subspecs: [
        'Core',
        'RCTActionSheet',
        'RCTAnimation',
        'RCTGeolocation',
        'RCTImage',
        'RCTLinkingIOS',
        'RCTNetwork',
        'RCTSettings',
        'RCTText',
        'RCTVibration',
        'RCTWebSocket',
        'DevSupport'
    ]

    pod 'react-native-document-picker', :path => '../node_modules/react-native-document-picker`

end

# very important to have the below added to the very end of the Podfile
post_install do |installer|
    installer.pods_project.targets.each do |target|
        if target.name == "React"
            target.remove_from_project
        end
    end
end

Then, in the command prompt use the command pod deintegrate and after it is completed, do pod install

That should solve it!
