How to decide between 2 similar packages (Image Picker) and CocoaPods or not?
Has anyone had luck integrating image picker with Realm?
Maybe convert to base64 and save in asyncstorage?
Or if you need to save the image as-is, then there might be permission issues you are running into. Are you trying to save to internal or external?

Lately, I've been wondering about the state of React Native Image Picker. It feels like it's becoming abandoned, with a lot of crucial issues not being fixed anymore. For instance, one of the main issues we're facing is that the library struggles to handle videos that have been shared via WhatsAppโan increasingly common use case.

We're considering switching to another library, but unfortunately, most alternatives have a long list of issues as well. For example, here's the issue list for react-native-image-crop-picker.
Moving to Expo's image picker could be an option, but it comes with its own set of challenges, like importing a lot of unused Expo components into our project: Expo Image Picker.
Has anyone else encountered similar issues? How are you dealing with them? Are there any other alternatives you've had success with, or do you think React Native Image Picker could see a revival?
Would love to hear your thoughts and experiences!
