Hello,  
I am working on a app that allows the user to pick an image from the photo libary and then set it as the background of the screen.  
But whenever i install/live test my app the photo libary doesn´t open

Here are My blocks:

Am i doing something wrong?  
Thanks

The “image from photo library” block does not work in the new drag-and-drop interface. I reported that [here](http://community.thunkable.com/t/can-i-still-use-cloudinary/1040524/3).

Oh,  
Does IT work in the old UI of thunkable?
