File download: Unable to locate file after download

RNFetchBlob
            .config({
              fileCache : true,
              // android only options, these options be a no-op on IOS
          
            })
            .fetch('GET', 'http://117.12.209.52/jdrr_cert_gen/images/image_283.jpg', {
              //some headers ..
            })
            .then((res) => {
              // the path should be dirs.DocumentDir + 'path-to-file.anything'
              console.log('The file saved to ', res.path())
            })

console.log('The file saved to ', res.path()) returns /data/user/0/com.myapp/files/RNFetchBlobTmp_x34fi32dgqgwbthcfrdc8e

I have also used download manager and specific path but unable to loacte file. When i am using download manager, I also get a notification but no image.

I’m facing the same issue but only in iOS device using RNFetchBlob.fs.dirs.DocumentDir as path. The fetch response comes with the correct path but after download i got no file.

EDIT: i’ve solved this by using WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE permission on Android. And using this keys in info.plist for iOS:

<key> UIFileSharingEnabled</key>
<true/>
<key>LSSupportsOpeningDocumentsInPlace</key>
<true/>

As described here, to enable file sharing in the app Document folder.

I was faced same issue, but it solved. Simple solution that worked was

1. Open App Info from mobile
2. In Permissions -> Please make sure Storage is ticked
