ImagePicker.launchImageLibraryAsync does not work as expected

Expo Development Tools

Hello,

ImagePicker.launchImageLibraryAsync and ImagePicker.launchCameraAsync methods do not always work when having permissions… I have been testing it with development and debugging enabled and it works just fine. However if I switch to production mode it stops working. Neither that nor alert() methods. This works just fine for Android but not for iOS.

  onTakePicturePress = async () => {
    const cameraRollPerms = await Permissions.askAsync(Permissions.CAMERA_ROLL);
    const cameraPerms = await Permissions.askAsync(Permissions.CAMERA);

    if (cameraRollPerms.status === "granted" && cameraPerms.status === "granted") {
      const options = {
        mediaTypes: 'Images',
        allowsEditing: true,
        aspect: [1, 1]
      };

      let response = await ImagePicker.launchCameraAsync(options);

      if (!response.cancelled) {
        this.props.onClientDataValueChange({
          prop: 'profilePicture',
          value: response.uri
        });
        this.setState({ newProfilePicture: true });
      }
    } else {
      alert('Sorry, we need camera roll permissions to make this work!')
    }
  };

  onChoosePicturePress = async () => {
    if (Constants.platform.ios) { // Android does not need these permissiosn
      const { status } = await Permissions.askAsync(Permissions.CAMERA_ROLL);
      if (status !== 'granted') {
        alert('Sorry, we need camera roll permissions to make this work!');
        return;
      }
    }

    const options = {
      mediaTypes: 'Images',
      allowsEditing: true,
      aspect: [1, 1]
    };

    let response = await ImagePicker.launchImageLibraryAsync(options);

    if (!response.cancelled) {
      this.props.onClientDataValueChange({
        prop: 'profilePicture',
        value: response.uri
      });
      this.setState({ newProfilePicture: true });
    }
  };

Thanks in advance for the help!
