[aasalshehhi]

Please help me solving this error. I have been trying for a week.

Possible Unhandled Promise Rejection (id: 1): TypeError: null is not an object (evaluating 'RNDocumentPicker.pick')

This happens in IOS simulator only

[Elyx0]

If that's all you have after a week I don't believe you 😁

[aasalshehhi]

Well this is what is actually happening. I even deleted my project and used the backup to install again, but still the same issue in IOS.

[DanielBoening]

@aasalshehhi did you upgrade to > RN.60? The new binding system could mess with you.

[stefanoTron]

@aasalshehhi
had the same warning, forgot to run cd ios && pod install && cd ...
Close the app and the packager and restart.

Hello ! Please help me solving this error
[Unhandled promise rejection: TypeError: undefined is not an object (evaluating '_expoDocumentPicker.DocumentPicker.getDocumentAsync')]

[stefanoTron]

@themanpur, this is not the right repo, you are using Expo's documentPicker https://docs.expo.io/versions/latest/sdk/document-picker/

maybe you can find some help here https://github.com/expo/expo/tree/master/packages/expo-document-picker

[abhinavkhajuria]

Same is still happening in case of running the app in android in debugging. whereas the app in release mode is working fine.

in "react-native-document-picker": "^3.2.4"
"react-native": "0.61.5"

[Sayyamabbasi786]

I am facing the same issue even though it has been installed properly and I have updated podfile as well and then also did the pod install but still the same issue, anyone ???

[munibkhalidhere]

having the same issue... anyone solved it yet?

[fahimk]

This seems to happen only on the device emulators. When running on a real device it works fine.

[sindu12jun]

This only happen in develop mode, not in production

[mrlego]

i got the same error...i am really starting to dislike RN : (

[sathwik77]

Same issue with expo v38 and package v3.5.3. Can OP reopen this issue?

[yamila-fraiman]

Same issue using android. I'm not using expo.

[diptendulkar]

I am facing this issue on Android device and emulator . Anyone solved it ??

[GabrielDvt]

Facing the same problem. Any help?

[Siddharth2212]

Did anyone find solution to this? I am facing this issue as well.

[codeguyluke]

In my case the issue was:
pod 'react-native-document-picker', path: '../node_modules/react-native-document-picker'
line that was not automatically added to Podfile (although React Native version we use is 0.61.2) so Pod didn't get installed.

After I have added the line manually and rerun cd ios && pod install && cd .. it worked perfectly.

[azouaoui-med]

[jdempcy]

I've tried everything in this thread and the issue still occurs for me on Android. This is what I get when I try to open the file picker:

[jdempcy]

Opening on an actual device works. Simulator always gives the above error

[OziTFA]

Got still same error even on simulator/real device.. TypeError: null is not an object (evaluating 'RNDocumentPicker.pick')

[jdempcy]

Which device are you using OziTFA? The error occurs on all emulators in my testing, but I have also tested on two devices and it does not occur on either. (A Motorola and a Huawei.)

[OziTFA]

Actually it is okay now. It was because of other lib conflict etc 👍🏻

[fribeiropaiva]

Actually it is okay now. It was because of other lib conflict etc 👍🏻

Could you tell us what you did to solve it? Having the same issue here

[CliffBrewerVEC]

I know I'm late to the party, but I had the same issue and managed to fix it.
I think the problem is you need to rebuild the java portion of the application and to achieve this I simply had to shut down my virtual device and restarted it with npx react-native run-android from the project folder.

[ZainHasan97-Razi]

cd android && ./gradlew clean will help.

[arungogosoon]

Running react-native link react-native-document-picker fixed this issue for me

[Nima-net]

i was having the same issue on android device and i resolved it by running cd android && ./gradlew clean

[remi-p-opka]

[hsnMoghadasi]

[hsnMoghadasi]

import DocumentPicker, {DocumentPickerOptions, DocumentPickerResponse, types} from 'react-native-document-picker';

const option: DocumentPickerOptions<'android'> = {
  // type: [types.pdf, types.doc, types.docx, types.zip, types.images],
  allowMultiSelection: true,
  presentationStyle: 'fullScreen',
};
