try run npx pod-install in your ios directory again after add LSSupportsOpeningDocumentsInPlace key

Is this version have injectjavascript function? Also when i try npx pod install my system ask me a path . So do u have any idea on which path should i give

Yeah, this version have injectJs and contains the fix for this issue.. about pod install you can run npx pod-install ios inside root of your react native project, the first argument after npx pod-install is a path where project ios files are located

I'm developing with expo and facing the same issue on iOS. It works fine when the src is a remote file but not when it's local.

[victorsoares96]

Try to add key mentioned above in expo app.json, see more in expo docs:

{
  "ios": {
    "infoPlist": {
  "LSSupportsOpeningDocumentsInPlace": true
    }
  }
}

https://docs.expo.dev/guides/permissions/#ios

And if you use expo managed project with expo-document-picker try to use this:

const { assets } = await DocumentPicker.getDocumentAsync({ copyToCacheDirectory: false });

Adding LSSupportsOpeningDocumentsInPlace to info.plist and setting copyToCacheDirectory to false on iOS worked. Thanks.
