in my app, i was tooling with a system to get a qr code from an api. issue is, setting the set image 1 to block seems to just crash or bug out whenever i try to set it as the response from the api. As far as i know, its not being returned in json format or anything like that. any ideas? i tried us…

I think we are thinking a bit too hard about this problem. I was surprised that the API is returning an actual image. Since that is the case you can display the image thus [image] I haven’t worked with cloudinary (media DB) in a while, bit I THINK you can pass it the URL as a target

It was just returning a png, but I can’t use it for anything, I can’t set an image to it, I can’t put it into firebase in an “attachment” collum, nothing. It’s a pain in the butt, because it just crashed when you try
