Hi, the way I understand it is that the image picker shows you thumbnails of the images/videos, when you select one, it copies the data from the actual image's URI on iOS to the tmp folder. Then it gives you the URI for the tmp folder.

I get a path similar to this one
/Users/user/Library/Developer/CoreSimulator/Devices/0BA3C76A-9293-4F27-8A1A-4707C3A38D42/data/Containers/Data/Application/0135C34C-267D-4ABC-93BF-248A493AE2D2/tmp/74C108CF-575A-46C9-A37C-7234573F2AEB.jpg

However, whenever I try to read the image at that path usingreact-native-fetch-blob-util's readStream, I get an error saying Error: No such file. I'm assuming that's because the tmp file was already removed. Sometimes it successfully reads it, but 80% of the time it doesn't.

    const response = await launchImageLibrary({ mediaType: 'mixed' })
    const { uri, fileName, type } =  response.assets[0]
    const path = uri.split('//')[1] // "file://" needs to be stripped away from the URI for ReactNativeBlobUtil to work
    const data = await ReactNativeBlobUtil.fs.readFile(path, 'base64')

Any help would be appreciated, thank you!
