iOS

• After react-native link react-native-file-selector, please verify node_modules/react-native-file-selector/ios/ contains Pods folder. If does not exist please execute pod install command on node_modules/react-native-file-selector/ios/, if any error => try pod repo update then pod install

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

• Drag node_modules/react-native-file-selector/ios/pods/Pods.xcodeproject into RNFileSelector, as well as the RNFileSelector.xcodeproject if it does not exist.

• Add the FileBrowser.framework into your project's Embedded Binaries and make sure the framework is also in linked libraries.

• Go to your project's Build Settings -> Frameworks Search Path and add ${BUILT_PRODUCTS_DIR}/FileBrowser non-recursive.

• Add below snippet in your app AppDelegate.m. This basically adds navigation controller in order to push list of files screen

  UINavigationController *navigationController = [[UINavigationController alloc] initWithRootViewController:rootViewController];
  navigationController.navigationBar.hidden = YES;

  self.window.rootViewController = navigationController;

//  self.window.rootViewController = rootViewController;

• Now build your iOS app through Xcode

💖 Support my projects

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.
