What is the best method to upload image in a react native app to cloudinary API?. Should I install their SDK from https://www.npmjs.com/package/cloudinary and use it inside the app after installing. Wont it cause any problems after compiling to apk?
Or should I use the manual way? With the fetch api in react native and sent a post request to the cloudinary API? Isn't that a bit too much work and at the same time not so secure, because API keys are exposed right? Whats your opinion?

While the React Native SDK is currently unavailable, it is recommended to use the direct call to the upload Rest API as implemented at the client-side of your application (see sample implementation in React). And you could pass the Cloudinary account parameters from your server-side code to your frontend as an option to manage the credentials.
