PhotoViewer stuck on loading spinner

Ionic Framework ionic-v3
1

Hi there,

I’ve followed a few posts and Ionic docs in using PhotoViewer, below is my code so far. The URL is passed okay but after tapping on the image - it will get stuck permanently with a loading spinner with no way of getting out. Any hints or clues as to why this might be happening?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

import { PhotoViewer } from 'ionic-native';

@Component({
selector: ‘hero-image’,
template:

{{model.item.name}}
, directives: [ ProtectedDirective ] }) export class HeroImageComponent { @Input() public model:Param; public PhotoViewer: any;

constructor(
private _platform: Platform
) {
}

viewFullScreenImage(image: string, title?: string): void {
console.log(‘View Image in Fullscreen clicked’);
this._platform.ready()
.then(() => {
if (PhotoViewer)
PhotoViewer.show(image, title);
})
console.log(‘Image’, image);
}

I’m also having the same issue. The root cause is photo not fully downloaded (either not yet finish download or corrupted) photo viewer will keep spinning for iOS.

I don’t have any solution either.
