Hello Friends,

Welcome To Infinitbility!

You react native image component not rendering images in iOS 14 then you have to change react-native node_modules or use patch packages.

Here, I don’t recommend changing your node_modules because you may forget to change when setup another machine or in deployment.

  • patch packages solution get from GitHub after hours of scrolling & researching.

In this article, I am sharing solutions to solve the image rendering issue using patch packages.

the article purpose to save hours of the developer’s


Follow Steps to use patch package of any react native version x.xx.xx

|    ├── android
|    ├── ios
|    ├── node_modules
|    ├── patches            // created folder
|    ├── src
|    ├── App.js
|    ├── index.js

Step 3

create react-native+X.XX.X.patch file under patches folder.
