Problem
I am trying to use React-Native’s Share API to share an image that was loaded into a conversation from a Amazon URI. Currently the Share api accepts a uri string. I can share the uri string, but would like to share the actual image by caching it locally and referencing the localUri in the Share API instead
Possible Solutions
- Request and convert the hosted image into a base64 string and pass that in as a uri string to the Share API
- Cache the image locally using Image.prefetch([uri]), and reference the locally cached file in the Share API
- I tried doing this, but didn’t not receive any response after the image was cached
Your help/feedback is greatly appreciated it.
