The DocumentPicker is not openning the document picking screen

[EliusHHimel]

As stated in the title, the DocumentPicker is not opening the document picking window/screen, it isn't even giving any error, warning, or anything. The press event is working perfectly, but the DocumentPicker.pick() is doing nothing, not even giving any feedback about what's wrong.

Maybe this can solve your issue @EliusHHimel

My code was exactly how you suggested when I was facing the problem. Later, when I tried debugging, it was giving an error saying Cannot read property 'pick' of undefined. However, I solved the problem by taking the following steps.

import { pick } from '@react-native-documents/picker';
...

pick({...})

then,

cd android
./gradlew clean

Then run the build command, and it should work just fine.

Note: For some people, the approach suggested by @einjunge99 might work; if not, I'm sure the steps above will resolve the issue.
