The default scale for a given image seems to only work for me on android, but not iOS. I maybe misunderstanding something though:
<PhotoZoom
source={{ uri: media.url }}
minimumZoomScale={1}
maximumZoomScale={2}
scale={1}
androidScaleType='fitXY'
onLoad={noop}
style={this.fullSizeStyle}
/>
Let me know if I need to provide more thorough repro steps and I'll be happy to do it. Thanks!
