[Android] Unable to share files on the internal storage

See original GitHub issue

Steps to reproduce

I’m using react-native-fs to download files to the local internal storage. Using such a file with a file:// url works great on iOS but fails on Android. Looks like the filepath is being tampered with and Android is unable to find the file.

URL from react-native-fs file:///data/user/0/com.myapp/files/myapp/art/invitation.jpg

Error Failed to find configured root that contains /data/data/com.myapp/files/myapp/art/invitation.jpg

Environment

React Native version: 0.57.8
React Native platform + platform version: Android 8.0

react-native-share

Version: 1.1.3
