[badrinathvm]

yes it's working on iOS. What is the issue you are facing with iOS

I followed below steps

1. Right Click on Libraries in Xcodeprpject , Then add the RNDocumentPicker.xcodeproj
2. Got to Build Phases and link the library 'libRNDocumentPicker.a`
3. Make sure to enable the titlements in Capapbalities section.

@bhoomesh950 You can read the file with RNFetchBlob library. In my case I'm using PDF, so I convert it to base64 string and pass to the PDFView library.

async convertFileToBase64(uri) {
        const file = Platform.OS === 'ios' ? uri.replace('file:', '') : uri
        await RNFetchBlob.fs.readFile(file,'base64')
            .then((baseCodedFile) => {
                this.props.navigation.navigate('UploadDocument', { documentPath: baseCodedFile, resourceType: 'base64' })
            })
}

That's a basic example
