react-native-photos-framework
A modern React Native API for accessing the iOS Photos Framework, including iCloud photos and advanced media management.
What is react-native-photos-framework?
react-native-photos-framework is a React Native library that provides a native bridge to Apple's Photos Framework, enabling iOS apps to access and manage the user's entire photo library including iCloud-synced content. It solves the limitation of React Native's built-in CameraRoll, which uses the deprecated ALAssetLibrary and cannot access iCloud photos, by offering advanced querying, real-time change tracking, and full media management capabilities.
React Native developers building iOS apps that need to integrate with the user's photo library, such as photo gallery apps, social media apps with photo uploads, or any app requiring access to iCloud-synced photos and videos.
Developers choose this library because it provides full iCloud support and a modern, promise-based API that mirrors the native Photos Framework's flexibility, unlike the deprecated ALAssetLibrary used by React Native's CameraRoll. It offers unique features like real-time change tracking, advanced media queries, and built-in AJAX upload helpers, making it a comprehensive solution for photo library integration.
