"[TypeError: Cannot read property 'detectFromUri' of null]" #47
Description
Expo Version: '49'
React Native Version: '0.72'
So, I'm just trying to follow the example on README but everytime I try to scan any text using any method I get this annoying error "[TypeError: Cannot read property 'detectFromUri' of null]" or "[TypeError: Cannot read property 'detectFromFile' of null]"
I'm giving the function valid URIs but it has no effect, the error is still happening.
Idk if this makes a difference, but I'm running the app through the Expo Go App on an Android 13 device
const OCR = async ( ) => {
try{
const result = await MlkitOcr.detectFromUri(valid_URI);
console.log(result);
}
catch(error){
console.error(error)
}
}
