MediaLibrary.getAssetsAsync with moment as album will result Error: Couldn't find album

Expo SDK
1

SDK Version: 41
Platforms(Android/iOS/web/all): iOS

I’m trying to get assets inside the moment so I did like below.

const mediaType = [MediaLibrary.MediaType.photo, MediaLibrary.MediaType.video]
const albums = await MediaLibrary.getMomentsAsync()
albums.map(async album => {
  const assets = await MediaLibrary.getAssetsAsync({ album, mediaType })
})

This will raise error.

I also tried to pass the ID string as an album await MediaLibrary.getAssetsAsync({ album: album.id, mediaType }) but it still raises error.
I can get the assets from the normal albums (from MediaLibrary.getAlbumsAsync) without any problem.

Is this a bug? or am I missing something?

Hey @foloinfo, could you provide a runnable reproduction of this in a Snack so we can quickly run and test it on our end?

Cheers,
Adam

Hi @adamjnav thanks for reply.

I made a reproduction with snack here.

If you change getMomentsAsync to getAlbumsAsync it works fine.
It returns album but not the assets, I confirmed it with virtual machine and actual device (iOS).

Thanks
