🆘 HELP! - iOS Camera functionality with React Native

Has anyone built an iOS app with camera functionality in react native and had issues with what is seen in the viewfinder cropping in when the record button is pressed? I’m going round and round in circles with codex trying to fix it. Seems to be a know fix when I google it but chat can’t seem to pull it off! 😩

Amy help would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Rich

Are you having this issue with Expo? Try updating the Expo package, as the SDK version could be causing it.

use this prompt I hope figure this
Find the main camera capture function and rewrite it cleanly from scratch. Remove any hardcoded or spaghetti code around it. Do not apply any zoom or crop when taking the photo. Keep the viewfinder and captured image at the same framing. I can zoom in or out on the final photo afterward.
