iOS Video Upload not working

[kfitzsimons87]

Goal:
To upload a video file the user has selected via the expo MediaLibrary.getAssetsAsync().

Issue:
This works fine for all images and for videos on Android… but not iOS videos.

Steps to reproduce:
Fetch a video file via MediaLibrary.getAssetsAsync(), post this file to a server from iOS device (any).

Two other posts have mentioned the same issue but were closed due to no response:

Uploading videos from iOS devices

We are having the exact same issue described here: VIdeos are uploaded as images to server on iOS devices, Whereas it works fine on Android. How can we fix this issue ? Thanks in advance. steps to reproduce: 1- using MediaLibrary.getAssetsAsync() to get videos. 2- upload to server using fetch or axios APIs The result of doing this on Android is a video, and on iOS is a snapshot of the video (image)

Uploading video URL error

Please provide the following: SDK Version: 38 Platforms(Android/iOS/web/all): iOS (Android works…) We’re using an image browser library that utilises MediaLibrary / FileSystem to build an array of selected items on a device that a user can then upload using fetch. The code that builds the formData is as follows: let formData = new FormData(); this.state.photos.map((image, i ) => { let uri = image.file; // extract the filetype let fileType = ur…

I am using axios but another post tried fetch as well, in my case I post to a pre-signed AWS S3 URL, I don’t think it is the AWS bucket e.g. content type or file size limit.
The app is a bare workflow with expo version 39.

Error message:
“No suitable URL request handler found for assets-library://asset/asset.MOV?id=A624DB04-2003-4B85-B646-F7809563D9AA&ext=MOV”

Please can anyone help?

Thanks

It looks like I should be using the localUri instead of the uri.

This can be found via MediaLibrary.getAssetInfoAsync()

I’m not sure why this is needed or what the difference is, if someone could explain?

Using localUri my issue is resolved, and quicktime files can be uploaded.
