This appears to only be an issue on iOS simulator, and also probably only on M1 Macs, related to this issue: https://github.com/react-native-image-picker/react-native-image-picker/issues/1999

However, using an iOS hardware device via Xcode when running with local RN apps does allow video uploads, so is most likely just a symptom of iOS Simulator + M1 Macs

Same issue on real devices in production, “.WEBP” might be the issue like @KelvinPortuphy says

Did some more digging and I think this has to do with image of type “.WEBP”

I have the same issue:

“react-native-image-picker”: “^4.10.2” “react-native”: “0.70.6”,

Apple M1 Version 13.3 (22E252)

iPhone 14 - iOS 16.1 Xcode Version 14.1 (14B47b)

I get the error: {“errorCode”: “others”} errorMessage undefine

Updating Xcode to version 14.2 helped me fix a similar problem. (M1)

Also, now that I tested even more, I realized this is easily replicable if you take 2 photos with one of them being “RAW”.

The non-RAW photo will be picked up normally and the RAW one will throw the error described above.

Here’s an easy repro (simulator and real devices) :

With safari go to this page : https://www.carrefour.fr/p/lentilles-carrefour-classic-3560070329441 Save the photo directly on the page and try to use it with react-native-image-picker, it will fail.

Strangely if you open and display directly the photo url in safari and save it will be fine ti use with image-picker.

Note : only the second photo is available to download, when I plug my iPhone on my Mac, in Apple Photos app.
