🎉 ImagePickerKMP v1.0.21 – A Fresh New Look for iOS & Android! 🎉

Hey there, fellow Kotlin Multiplatform enthusiasts!

I’m thrilled to announce the latest release of ImagePickerKMP – the cross‑platform image picker & camera library that lets you pull photos from the gallery or capture new ones with a single line of code. 🚀

Release:

• Version: v1.0.21
• Tag: v1.0.21
• Date: 2025‑08‑11
• Repo: ImagePickerKMP on GitHub

With this update, we’re adding custom bottom sheet support for iOS and customizable confirmation UI for Android. Let’s dive into the details!

🎯 What’s New in v1.0.21?

1️⃣ Custom Bottom Sheet on iOS

Previously, the iOS picker presented the standard UIImagePickerController UI. While functional, it left designers with limited styling options. This release introduces a CustomBottomSheet component that can be fully themed, animated, and integrated into your Compose UI.

ImagePicker(
    modifier = Modifier.fillMaxSize(),
    platform = Platform.IOS,
    // Custom bottom sheet
    bottomSheet = { image -> 
        CustomBottomSheet(
            image = image,
            onDismiss = { /* ... */ },
            style = BottomSheetStyle(
                backgroundColor = Color.White,
                cornerRadius = 16.dp
            )
        )
    }
)

Key benefits:

• 🎨 Full control over colors, shapes, and shadows.
• 📲 Seamless integration with your existing Compose layout.
• 🔄 Consistent behavior across iOS versions.

2️⃣ Customizable Confirmation View on Android

On Android, after a user selects an image, the picker used to show a default “Confirm” dialog. We now provide a ConfirmView composable that can be swapped out for any design.

ImagePicker(
    modifier = Modifier.fillMaxWidth(),
    platform = Platform.Android,
    confirmView = { image ->
        MyCustomConfirm(
            image = image,
            onConfirm = { /* Handle confirm */ },
            onCancel = { /* Handle cancel */ }
        )
    }
)

What you can change:

• Button styles, text, icons.
• Layout – grid, carousel, or single‑image preview.
• Animation – fade, slide, or custom physics.

These changes empower designers to keep the UI in line with their brand while still leveraging the power of Kotlin Multiplatform.

🔧 Improvements & Fixes

Tip: If you’re still on Kotlin 1.9.10 or Compose 1.5.0, consider upgrading to benefit from the performance tweaks and bug fixes.

📦 How to Update

1️⃣ Add the dependency

If you’re already using ImagePickerKMP, simply bump the version in your build.gradle.kts (or build.gradle if you’re using Groovy).

dependencies {
    implementation("com.github.ismoy:ImagePickerKMP:1.0.21")
}

2️⃣ Sync & Rebuild

Run ./gradlew clean build or use your IDE’s Gradle sync.

3️⃣ Migrate Custom UI

If you’re using the new custom bottom sheet or confirmation view, replace the old API calls with the new ones shown above.

4️⃣ Test

Run your app on both Android and iOS simulators/devices to confirm the UI behaves as expected.

Note: No breaking changes in the public API, so your existing code should compile without modification unless you decide to adopt the new custom UI components.
