react-native-document-picker: I can't select any file on ios device

I can’t select any file on ios device. Not so on Android device. How can I solve this problem? As you can see in the screenshot it doesn’t let me select any file. Ekran Resmi 2021-11-01 23 01 12

my code:


const  openDocumentPicker = async ()=>{
        // Pick a single file
        try {
            const res = await DocumentPicker.pick({
                type: [DocumentPicker.types.allFiles],
            });
            console.log('output' + JSON.stringify(res));
        } catch (err) {
            if (DocumentPicker.isCancel(err)) {
                // User cancelled the picker, exit any dialogs or menus and move on
            } else {
                throw err
            }
        }
    }

Hi is there any solution for iOS 15? I am using latest version but facing same issue in iOS simulator .

I am not sure if this helps or not, but this is only an issue in the simulator. When I install my app on a phone running iOS 15, it works perfectly fine.

Close the XCODE Go to the application Get info XCODE Untick “Open Using Rosetta” Open Project Clean Project Build Again is a fix for me

I’m using m1 mac. My simulator was IOS 15+ , It was same, I could not select anything. I downgraded IOS 13.4 my simulator and everything is running via rossetta ( yarn, Xcode, simulator) It is working now. It’s look like there is problem on IOS 15 Simulator or something like that, idk

But I’m really curious about this issue and I will follow.

In the @garrettks 's and @arijitgayen20 's comments, it was mentioned that it works on real devices. I don’t have a chance to try right now. For workaround and testing, it looks like it’s necessary to use the simulator IOS 13.

try to hold your mouse click until opening the little options popup, then it wont be grayed out, select the file again.

try disabling rosetta in Xcode, relaunching Xcode, and then cleaning your project’s build folder. then build the app and it should work again.

yes, it works on ios version 13.4. Is this problem caused by m1 or is it caused by the ios version?
