Form Data not sent in RN0.40.0

[Suresh-R-S]

Description

I recently upgraded my project which was in RN0.38.0 to RN 0.40.0 using react-native-git-upgrade.
The project includes ImagePickerIOS to open gallery and select an image, which is sent to the back end.
Iam sending the file as FormData to the backend.
Everything is working good in RN0.38.0, but the server returns file not found when using RN0.40.0
i.e. In the backend file received is undefined.

IMPORTANT : When I log the API call, the multipart form data is being sent.

What did i do wrong here??

Reproduction

This is the FormData code I use :
var body = new FormData();
var photo = {
uri : uri,
type: 'image/jpeg',
name: 'profilePic'+ new Date().getTime() +'.jpg',
};
body.append('file',photo);

Additional Information

• React Native version: 0.40.0
• Platform: iOS
• Operating System: MacOS

Mmm, that code should work. Can you get a form working in a basic app that doesn't have other stuff? I suspect the problem is somewhere else in your stack than the code you pasted.

Any feedback on this ? I think we have the same issue here and we are kind of stuck with our iOS version since we upgraded RN to 0.40.0
