💻 Usage

import { RNPhotoEditor } from 'react-native-photo-editor'

RNPhotoEditor.Edit({
    path: RNFS.DocumentDirectoryPath + "/photo.jpg"
});

• Purpose of this library is to edit photos which are within app sandbox, we recommend to move captured image to app sandbox then using RNFS share image path with library for the edit.

• Example: If we capture image through cameraRoll then we should first move image to app sandbox using RNFS then share app storage path with the editor.

🔧 Troubleshooting

If using React Native Firebase v6+ or facing any of the following issues: #104, #93

• Add the following to your podfile -> ios/podfile and run pod install

pre_install do |installer|
  installer.pod_targets.each do |pod|
    if pod.name.start_with?('RNFB')
      def pod.build_type;
        Pod::Target::BuildType.static_library
      end
    end
  end
end

• If the above doesn't work, try the following and and re-run pod install:

1. Open .podspec in node_modules/@react-native-firebase/app, auth, firestore (and any other @react-native-firebase libraries you're using)
2. Manually change s.static_framework = false to s.static_framework = true.
