Tell me how to open the camera app on react-native ios. The below code is not working
Linking.openURL("camera://")
You can open the camera in expo using expo image picker library
here's the documentation for u.
https://docs.expo.dev/versions/latest/sdk/imagepicker/#ios
Image picker library is also used in cli but with different imports and package installation command is different. Here's the link for u. https://www.npmjs.com/package/react-native-image-picker

I am building a react native app using expo and trying to use a couple lottie files using the lottie-react-native library. When I use the iOS simulator the files load fine, but when I try to run the app on my actual iPhone I get this warning:
"ReactNative.NativeModules.LottieAnimationView.pause did not have a corresponding prop defined
in the mock provided to SafeModule"
I know that expo relies on Lottie v2 so v3 files will cause the app to crash, but is it normal for the Lottie animations to work on the simulator but not the phone? And is there a way for me to check if an animation is v2? I can't seem to find any kind of indication of version when browsing the animations.
Thanks to anyone who can help!
I am trying to link my react native app with the iOS calendar. My app runs on expo and uses the react-native-calendar-strip. I've been searching to see how to make a start but not quite sure.Could you please guide me on how to do this?
below is the package that I used

I have successfully created iOS build of React Native Expo App and I also downloaded it to the iPhone. But I am not able to install it in the phone. I am not able to open the file.
Please help if anyone has any idea regarding this.
You can't directly install the React-native Expo app on your phone. You must use the AppStore or Expo client for IOS.
https://docs.expo.io/versions/v36.0.0/distribution/app-stores/

Actually, you can install your React-native Expo app on your iOS device if you have an Apple developer account, you can follow the detailed step-by-step guide in this article:

Relatively new to React Native, I’m using AirBnb’s react native maps package in my app, and all the tutorials talk about getting Google Maps (rather than Apple Maps) to work in iOS by going into my iOS folder and managing the cocoapods dependencies etc.
I don’t completely remember, but I created my app with expo init, or maybe with create-react-native-app, and I don’t have an iOS folder. From what I’ve read it looks like I can get the separate folders by ejecting my app.
Here is what my actual question is about: The question is basically “Can I use Google Maps in an iOS MapView and still code my app in React Native and run it in Expo in both Xcode simulator and Android emulator, and still have hot/live loading?”
You could abstract the question just a bit and phrase it as “Can I follow the instructions on, say, a MapView tutorial, to use native dependencies, having iOS and Android folders, and still write my app in React Native and run it in both simulators with hot/live loading?”
(Or, once I’m using the native stuff do I have to code in Swift/Java and Xcode/Android Studio?)
As noted in the expo documentation, expo already contains a google maps map view.

if you didn't create your app with expo but just with the create-react-native-app command you can use this package maintained by the RN community:
https://github.com/react-native-community/react-native-maps
This package uses native components so you need to link it (only if you don't use expo) and then you can just use it in your screens as a normal component.
I downloaded some react-native code from "https://github.com/lelandrichardson/react-native-maps" and launch the examples on ios simulator. I got below error showing on IOS simulator. As it suggested how to make javascript and native code in sync?
