It seems like that allowsMultipleSelection only works for web, as stated in their documentation:

allowsMultipleSelection (boolean) -- (Web only) Whether or not to allow selecting multiple media files at once.

To be able to do this on Android/iOS you probably should use this library - expo-image-picker-multiple.

For expo users, i worked in a library for this purpose... Under the hood uses expo-media-library (if you don't want use the library you can check the code to do your picker), the package is called expo-image-multiple-picker

I know this was posted a couple years ago but I just ran into this issue and luckily Expo's ImagePicker has been upgraded in SDK 46.0 to allow multi-image selection on iOS 14+, Android, and Web! To upgrade to this SDK version just follow this guide: https://blog.expo.dev/expo-sdk-46-c2a1655f63f7

I did this and am now able to use ImagePicker in my app on iOS to select multiple images at once!!
