NSNull to nil before checking type in readAsDataURL (#46635)
Summary: This issue original arose out of https://github.com/bluesky-social/social-app/issues/5100. Copying the description (with my general understanding of the problem) from the patch PR to here as well. There's a crash that comes up in the following, pretty specific scenario: - Have a response that has an empty body - Do not include a `content-type` header in the response - Set the `x-content-type-options` header to `nosniff` RN handles the response for a request in this block of code: https://github.com/facebook/react-native/blob/303e0ed7641409acf2d852c077f6be426afd7a0c/packages/react-native/Libraries/Blob/RCTBlobManager.mm#L314-L326 Here, we see that values of `nil` - which `[response MIMEType]` will return when no `content-type` is provided in the response and the actual type cannot be determined (https://developer.apple.com/documentation/foundation/nsurlresponse/1411613-mimetype) - gets converted to `NSNull` by `RCTNullIfNil`. When we get back over to `readAsDataURL`, we see that we grab the type from the dictionary and check if its `nil` before calling `length` on the string. https://github.com/facebook/react-native/blob/303e0ed7641409acf2d852c077f6be426afd7a0c/packages/react-native/Libraries/Blob/RCTFileReaderModule.mm#L74-L77 However, this check is dubious, because the value will never actually be `nil`. It will always either be `NSString` or `NSNull` because of the `RCTNullIfNil` call made above and `[RCTConvert NSString]` seems to just return the input if it is `NSNull`. ## Changelog: [IOS] [FIXED] - Convert `NSNull` to `nil` before checking `type` in `readAsDataURL` Pull Request resolved: https://github.com/facebook/react-native/pull/46635 Test Plan: This is a little awkward to test, but essentially this comes up in the following scenario that is described (and "tested" as being fixed by tweaking) in https://github.com/bluesky-social/social-app/issues/5100. I have personally tested by using Cloudflare rules to add/remove that particular header from an empty body response. You could also test this with a little local web server if you want. ### Before https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/deb86c68-2251-4fef-9705-a1c93584e83e ### After https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/9ffab11b-b2c8-4a83-afd6-0a55fed3ae9b Reviewed By: dmytrorykun Differential Revision: D63381947 Pulled By: cipolleschi fbshipit-source-id: b2b4944d998133611592eed8d112faa6195587bd
React Native
Learn once, write anywhere:
Build mobile apps with React.
Getting Started · Learn the Basics · Showcase · Contribute · Community · Support
React Native brings React's declarative UI framework to iOS and Android. With React Native, you use native UI controls and have full access to the native platform.
- Declarative. React makes it painless to create interactive UIs. Declarative views make your code more predictable and easier to debug.
- Component-Based. Build encapsulated components that manage their state, then compose them to make complex UIs.
- Developer Velocity. See local changes in seconds. Changes to JavaScript code can be live reloaded without rebuilding the native app.
- Portability. Reuse code across iOS, Android, and other platforms.
React Native is developed and supported by many companies and individual core contributors. Find out more in our ecosystem overview.

📋 Requirements
React Native apps may target iOS 13.4 and Android 6.0 (API 23) or newer. You may use Windows, macOS, or Linux as your development operating system, though building and running iOS apps is limited to macOS. Tools like Expo can be used to work around this.
🎉 Building your first React Native app
Follow the Getting Started guide. The recommended way to install React Native depends on your project. Here you can find short guides for the most common scenarios:
📖 Documentation
The full documentation for React Native can be found on our website.
The React Native documentation discusses components, APIs, and topics that are specific to React Native. For further documentation on the React API that is shared between React Native and React DOM, refer to the React documentation.
The source for the React Native documentation and website is hosted on a separate repo, @facebook/react-native-website.
🚀 Upgrading
Upgrading to new versions of React Native may give you access to more APIs, views, developer tools, and other goodies. See the Upgrading Guide for instructions.
React Native releases are discussed in this discussion repo.
