I cant seem to find out why my code if failing to get a snapshot in my react expo project?

import { View, StyleSheet, Platform } from 'react-native';
import * as ImagePicker from 'expo-image-picker';
import { useState, useRef } from 'react';
import { GestureHandlerRootView } from 'react-native-gesture-handler';
import * as MediaLibrary from 'expo-media-library';

const PlaceholderImage = require('@/assets/images/background-image.png');

export default function Index() {
  const [selectedImage, setSelectedImage] = useState<string | undefined>(undefined);
  const [showAppOptions, setShowAppOptions] = useState<boolean>(false);
  const [isModalVisible, setIsModalVisible] = useState<boolean>(false);
  const [pickedEmoji, setPickedEmoji] = useState<ImageSource | undefined>(undefined);
  const [status, requestPermission] = MediaLibrary.usePermissions();
  const imageRef = useRef<View>(null);

  if (status === null) {
    requestPermission();
  }

  const pickImageAsync = async () => {
    let result = await ImagePicker.launchImageLibraryAsync({
      mediaTypes: ['images'],
      allowsEditing: true,
      quality: 1,
    });

    if (!result.canceled) {
      setSelectedImage(result.assets[0].uri);
      setShowAppOptions(true);
    } else {
      alert('You did not select any image.');
    }
  };

  const onReset = () => {
    setShowAppOptions(false);
  };

  const onAddSticker = () => {
    setIsModalVisible(true);
  };

  const onModalClose = () => {
    setIsModalVisible(false);
  };
`problematic function`
  const onSaveImageAsync = async () => {
    try {
      if (!imageRef.current) {
        throw new Error('View reference is not available');
      }

      const localUri = await captureRef(imageRef.current, {
        height: 440,
        quality: 1,
        format: 'png', // Explicitly set format
        result: Platform.OS === 'ios' ? 'tmpfile' : 'data-uri', // Different result types for iOS/Android
      });

      if (!localUri) {
        throw new Error('Failed to capture view');
      }

      await MediaLibrary.saveToLibraryAsync(localUri);
      alert('Saved!');
    } catch (e) {
      console.log(e);
    }
  };

  return (
    <GestureHandlerRootView style={styles.container}>
      <View style={styles.imageContainer}>
        <View ref={imageRef} collapsable={false}>
          <ImageViewer imgSource={PlaceholderImage} selectedImage={selectedImage} />
          {pickedEmoji && <EmojiSticker imageSize={40} stickerSource={pickedEmoji} />}
        </View>
      </View>
      {showAppOptions ? (
        <View style={styles.optionsContainer}>
          <View style={styles.optionsRow}>
            <IconButton icon="refresh" label="Reset" onPress={onReset} />
            <CircleButton onPress={onAddSticker} />
            <IconButton icon="save-alt" label="Save" onPress={onSaveImageAsync} />
          </View>
        </View>
      ) : (
        <View style={styles.footerContainer}>
          <Button theme="primary" label="Choose a photo" onPress={pickImageAsync} />
          <Button label="Use this photo" onPress={() => setShowAppOptions(true)} />
        </View>
      )}
      <EmojiPicker isVisible={isModalVisible} onClose={onModalClose}>
        <EmojiList onSelect={setPickedEmoji} onCloseModal={onModalClose} />
      </EmojiPicker>
    </GestureHandlerRootView>
  );
}

const styles = StyleSheet.create({
  container: {
    flex: 1,
    backgroundColor: '#25292e',
    alignItems: 'center',
  },
  imageContainer: {
    flex: 1,
  },
  footerContainer: {
    flex: 1 / 3,
    alignItems: 'center',
  },
  optionsContainer: {
    position: 'absolute',
    bottom: 80,
  },
  optionsRow: {
    alignItems: 'center',
    flexDirection: 'row',
  },
});

this is the page im getting the problem, the error is probably something with the onSaveImageAsync function.
I couldnt get chatgpt to find the problem

the message i get when i try to save is
[Error: Failed to snapshot view tag 14]

i tried asking chatgpt and claudia but they couldnt help,

this code is also the original tutorial code from
https://docs.expo.dev/tutorial/screenshot/
