Hi, I'm using the [react-native-image-picker](https://github.com/react-native-image-picker/react-native-image-picker) library to pick images from the gallery it works really fine.

I'm going to be getting images from the user (using react-native-image-picker) saving them in Firebase Cloud Storage.

Image Picker is a javascript library for react native that provides two methods one for taking image from camera and other from gallery. For using library first install react-native-image-picker in the project directory:

you can see the source code here.

here is the documentation for the library: https://github.com/react-native-image-picker/react-native-image-picker

It's simple Java and Objective-C code. Eq. https://github.com/react-native-image-picker/react-native-image-picker/blob/main/android/src/main/java/com/imagepicker/ImagePickerModule.java here is the roughly 200 lines` file. You can build it on your own, however, you need to remember that native code will be needed as you need to retrieve files from the device and it's unreachable from JS code. You need to consider all permissions, especially in iOS.

Agreed. Currently I'm using react-native-image-picker. However I can't mimic this exact behavior with it. So I'm bothered whether I have to develop native modules for this.

Some that also come up are: * https://github.com/akveo/react-native-ui-kitten * https://github.com/draftbit/react-native-jigsaw/tree/master/packages/ui * https://github.com/callstack/react-native-paper * https://github.com/GeekyAnts/NativeBase * https://github.com/react-native-elements/react-native-elements

https://akveo.github.io/react-native-ui-kitten/ is a good alternative, i especially like their demo app, I can just refer a client to that and ask them what screens they like.

UI Kitten: UI Kitten is a React Native framework for creating stunning cross-platform mobile applications. It is based on Eva Design System and provides a set of general purpose UI components styled in a similar way.

Most RN UI libraries do not support responsive design by default. If you require font sizes to vary based on screen sizes or even user's font settings to accommodate native mobile accessibility settings or RN-web, you might end requiring to customize a lot of stuff to the point that you shouldn't use a UI library at all. Here's a deeper dive on this in the context of UI kitten, if you are keen.
