react native camera roll .heic files

Question

The new .HEIC files on IOS 11 is causing problems because image hosting services to not support it.

The camera roll api is returning.HEIC files. How can we get .JPG/.PNG instead. Or convert .HEIC to .JPG/.PNG

Answer 1

ImagePicker.showImagePicker(options, imgResponse => {

this.setState({ imageLoading: true, avatarMediaId: null });

if ((imgResponse.didCancel) || (imgResponse.error)) {
    this.setState({ imageLoading: false });
} else {
    let source = {};
    let fileName = imgResponse.fileName;
    if (Platform.OS === 'ios' && (fileName.endsWith('.heic') || fileName.endsWith('.HEIC'))) {
        fileName = `${fileName.split(".")[0]}.JPG`;
    }
    source = { uri: imgResponse.uri, fileName };
    this.uploadImage(source);
}});
