Best practice for loading images on nativescript angular iOS - nativescript

I'm building out an iPhone and Android app using nativescript angular.
Since the app will be loading images in a list view, I have the nativescript fresco plugin to take care of loading the images and it works beautifully btw. Unfortunately this only take care of Android side.
I was wondering what other developers use when developing for nativescript apps for IOS. 
clarification: what I'm really trying to figure out is what should I use to replace fresco when developing for ios.
Also, I now have all these Fresco tags for all the images for android. But what do you do when you are ready to develop for IOS? Do I need to have *ngIF statements on all of them for android and use default Image tags for IOS?

You can use the <android></android> or <ios></ios> tags for platform specific views
e.g
<android>
<FrescoDrawee [imageUri]="someImage"></FrescoDrawee>
</android>
<ios>
<Image [src]="someImage"></Image>
</ios>

There is also the SDWebImage library which can automatically manage caching.

How to use COVALENT UI with nativescript angular app

I wanted to use covalent ui components with a nativescript angular app. Is that possible? I am a newbie with nativescript development. Can we use any angular library with nativescript?
You can not use covalent ui components on nativescript as those work only on web.
You can search here for ui components and other plugins
And you can use angular libraries as long as they don't use DOM api's, for example NGRX will work like a charm ;)

Access default photo gallery from Android and IOS and display in Xamarin.Forms

It is possible to access default photo gallery from Android and IOS and display in Xamarin.Forms
Note: I am not talk about picker. I need list of photos from gallery and show in list in Portable Library in xamarin forms.
There is no out of the box API available in the Xamarin Forms to enumerate the images from the iOS/Android. You will need to create CustomRenderer or DependencyService to list the images.
