iOS

• Locate the module lib folder in your node modules: PROJECT_DIR/node_modules/react-native-camera-kit/ios/lib
• Drag the ReactNativeCameraKit.xcodeproj project file into your project
• Add libReactNativeCameraKit.a to all your target Linked Frameworks and Libraries (prone to be forgotten)
• Add to your project info.plist the keys Privacy - Camera Usage Description and Privacy - Photo Library Usage Description as described here.

Android

Add the following to your project's settings.gradle file:

+ include ':rncamerakit'
+ project(':rncamerakit').projectDir = new File(rootProject.projectDir, '../node_modules/react-native-camera-kit/android/')

Then add to your app app/build.gradle in the dependencies section:

+ compile project(":rncamerakit")

Then in MainApplication.java add:

+ import com.wix.RNCameraKit.RNCameraKitPackage;

And in the package list in the same file (e.g. getPackages) add:

+ new RNCameraKitPackage()

Running the example project

• cd old-example
• yarn or npm install (the yarn/npm should be in the example folder)
• react-native run-ios or react-native run-android

Images stored in iCloud

On iOS images can be stored in iCould if the device is low on space which means full-resolution photos automatically replaced with optimized version and full resolution versions are stored in iCloud.

In this case, we need to download the image from iCloud and Photos Framework by Apple does a great job. Downloading take time and we deal with UI, so we need to show loading/progress indicator. In order to do so, we provide 3 types of loading/progress inidcators:

Sets remoteDownloadIndicatorType prop (and remoteDownloadIndicatorColor in order to sets the Color) on CameraKitGalleryView:

Attribute	Values
'spinner'
'progress-bar'
'progress-pie'

In order to simulate this loading behaviour, since reach low on storage situation is hard, add this prop iCloudDownloadSimulateTime={TIME_IN_SECONDS}, just DO NOT FORGET TO REMOVE IT.
