Note: It allows you to select only local files associate to app sandbox.
$ npm install react-native-file-selector --save
$ react-native link react-native-file-selector
- Add below snippet in your app

containsPods
folder. If does not exist please executepod install
command onnode_modules/react-native-file-selector/ios/

-
After verification, open your project and create a folder 'RNFileSelector' under Libraries.
-
Drag

into RNFileSelector, as well as the RNFileSelector.xcodeproject if it does not exist. -

navigationController.navigationBar.hidden = YES;
self.window.rootViewController = navigationController;
// self.window.rootViewController = rootViewController;
- Now build your iOS app through Xcode
import RNFileSelector from 'react-native-file-selector';

RNFileSelector @ prscX
I open-source almost everything I can, and I try to reply everyone needing help using these projects. Obviously, this takes time. You can integrate and use these projects in your applications for free! You can even change the source code and redistribute (even resell it).
However, if you get some profit from this or just want to encourage me to continue creating stuff, there are few ways you can do it:
-
Starring and sharing the projects you like 🚀
-
If you're feeling especially charitable, please follow prscX on GitHub.
Thanks! ❤️
