expo: ImagePicker quality option not working and storage alway increase 4Mb -> 7Mb (version 31.0.0, 30.0.0)

Hi there,

In version 31, I tried to use ImagePicker (Android) to let user capture the image. As I read the document, it have support an option called quality. This option value is from 0 to 1. I understand that 1 is maximum quality. But when I set the value from 0 to 1, I always received an image that had size from 4mb to 7mb. The size and quality of image did not reduce.

Is there anyone have the issue like me? Or I did it incorrectly?

BTW, I found another issue. When the user use camera to capture image (ImagePicker) the storage(app, cache) of the app alway increase 4Mb -> 7Mb

I have tried FileSystem to delete the file of the ImagePicker result. I can delete the file but the size of the storage alway increase

Storage before use ImagePicker

Storage after use ImagePicker and capture an image

I fixed the issue with the quality attribute. I will try to remove unnecessary caching later.

@sjchmiela Thanks for your help. I have resolved the issue with the flow bellow:

Add NDK PATH:

export ANDROID_SDK=/Users/<user>/Library/Android/sdk
export ANDROID_NDK=/Users/<user>/Library/Android/sdk/ndk-bundle
export PATH="$PATH:$ANDROID_SDK/tools:$ANDROID_SDK/platform-tools:$ANDROID_NDK"

Run yarn in tools, tools-public and expokit-npm-package
Run gulp update-exponent-view --abi 31.0.0 in tools
Run npm pack in expokit-npm-package
