Is there a native way to build an image picker/photo upload? It seems like react-native-image-picker is popular, but can I make one without a library?
1 project | /r/reactnative | 13 Sep 2021

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.
