Unmaintained Dependency - react-native-image-rotate

[ahmed-ismail-nt]

Thank you for this package. It's a good package, I like it more than the alternatives and it has a lot of promise.

Issue The react-native-image-rotate package is no longer being maintained.

At first glance, these are some issues already cropping up:

1. iOS-specific: The package uses deprecated methods from RCTImageStoreManager.h in RNImageRotate/ImageRotateModule.m. The imports need to be updated as well.
2. Android-specific: The android/build.gradle file needs to be updated.

How will you be handling this in future releases?

Can you recommend a similar maintained library that we could use instead react-native-image-rotate? We could use ImageManipulator, but I think that it will enforce to use expo and I don't like the idea (in bare react native projects can be used only if we install also the react-native-unimodules package, which is +1 dependency, which is not desired). An another alternative could be to remove the rotation feature from this package.

Maybe you could remove the rotation feature for the time being until an alternative is found? That way we can continue using this.

I would suggest to remove the rotation feature too.

currently expo ship with a bare workflow, alternatively app bootstrapped with react-native cli can easy install unimodules so (imho) use the expo ImageManipulator it's a good idea

or you can think to fork and edit ImageManipulator just like this test

This package seems to be maintained and has a rotate method

@kidculli Tried it and it does not seem to work properly.
