React native emoji selector emojis not appearing

Solution 1:

I also got the same problem in Android, then I had to switch to different library and the one which worked for me was this one: rn-emoji-keyboard.

A simple example of its usage:

import EmojiPicker from 'rn-emoji-keyboard';

const YourComponent = () => {
  
  const [input, setInput] = useState(null);
  const [emojiPicker, setEmojiPicker] = useState(false);
  
  {emojiPicker &&
  <EmojiPicker
     onEmojiSelected={emojiObject =>
       setInput(emojiObject.emoji)
     }
     open={emojiPicker}
     onClose={() => setEmojiPicker(false)}
   />}
}
