Downloading Images from Firebase Storage

[brendanscarano]

Hello, I'm not sure if this is the proper place to put this question, but I'm having trouble displaying the images from Firebase Storage. Following the example in this app I'm able to upload the images from my Camera Roll to Firebase storage correctly, and it is working great. It seems that each image is a TextEdit Document, and is a reference to a download url. An example of this reference is, "https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/project-1113607456346848220.appspot.com/o/images%2F1486553676321?alt=media&token=bfaa0086-4ed4-49e6-941b-8e58d295f829". When going to this link I can download the image fine but I cannot display it in my React Native app properly.

Is there a way to convert the TextEdit Document reference to a jpeg/png file so it can be displayed in my app properly?

I've attached screenshots of my images in Firebase Storage after uploading them, and then one of the images in Finder after downloading it from the url above. Thanks!

simply change the mime to 'image/jpg'
