Expo MediaLibrary.getAssetsAsync({album:album}) is not returning album - React Native

I am using Expo MediaLibrary to get videos from a specific folder and I am facing this problem.

MediaLibrary.getAssetsAsync() shows there are no media inside an album. while there are media inside the folder.

Code:

  let album = await MediaLibrary.getAlbumAsync("GrabTube")
  console.log(album )
  let assets = await MediaLibrary.getAssetsAsync({album:album })
  console.log(assets)

response:

Object {
  "assetCount": 1,
  "id": "876214992",
  "title": "GrabTube",
}
Object {
  "assets": Array [],
  "endCursor": "0",
  "hasNextPage": false,
  "totalCount": 0,
}

In the first console.log, it shows there is one item/asset inside the folder. But as shown inside the second console.log it shows the folder is empty.

Is there any fix for this?

For some reason it's necessary to define the mediaType even when you have already defined the album...

to me the solution was change from :

let assets = await MediaLibrary.getAssetsAsync({album:album })

to:

let assets = await MediaLibrary.getAssetsAsync({album:album, mediaType:'audio' })
