Unable to download file "unsupported URL"

Expo SDK
1

Please provide the following:

  1. SDK Version: 40.0.1
  2. Platforms: Android/iOS

Hi,
With my last upgrade from SDK37 to SDK40, I’m now getting the bellow errors when calling FileSystem.downloadAsync with same code base.
Use case is to cache images locally and re-display them later.

Any idea what might be happening here? Are file paths not supported anymore?

iOS Error:

Hey @apps.genie, could you provide a minimal reproducible example of this that I could run on my end?

Cheers,
Adam
