Email with attachement fails

[derNoaa]

I am trying to send a photo by mail with the help of this module and get the following error:

index.ios.bundle:28842Exception '-[MFMailComposeInternalViewController addAttachmentData:mimeType:fileName:] attachment must not be nil.' was thrown while invoking mail on target RNMail with params (
        {
        attachment =         {
            name = Ladunek;
            path = "assets-library://asset/asset.JPG?id=3B7DBB2E-1271-4D86-A5F2-A0CEEE7CC4DE&ext=JPG";
            type = jpg;
        };
        body = "body";
        isHTML = 1;
        recipients =         (
            "placeholder@mail.com"
        );
        subject = Ladunek;
    },
    9
)

This is the invoking code :

.then((data, path) => {
        console.log(data)
        console.log(data.path)
        Mailer.mail({
          subject: 'Ladunek',
          recipients: ['placeholder@mail.com'],
          body: 'body',
          isHTML: true, // iOS only, exclude if false
          attachment: {
            path: data.path,  // The absolute path of the file from which to read data.
            type: 'jpg',   // Mime Type: jpg, png, doc, ppt, html, pdf
            name: 'Ladunek',   // Optional: Custom filename for attachment
          }
        }, (error, event) => {
            if(error) {
              AlertIOS.alert('Error', 'Could not send mail. Please send a mail to support@example.com');
            }
        });
      })

Is the path invalid? Or might it be something else.

Can we send a video as an attachment?

The answer @anton6 links to requires react-native-camera, but I'm trying to use this with react-native-image-picker and it's failing on iOS. I submitted a question on stack overflow.

But the fundamental issue seems to be that I'm getting back a uri value that looks like this (doesn't work as the full path)...

file://var/mobile/Containers/Data/Application/983938D-5304-463C-BD05-D033E55F5BEB/Documents/images/224CA6DD-5299-48C3-A7CF-0B645004535F.jpg

Instead of something that looks like this

/Users/anton/Library/Developer/CoreSimulator/Devices/9A15F203-9A58-41C5-A4FC-EA25FAAE92BD/data/Containers/Data/Application/79FF93F9-BA89-4F4C-8809-277BEECD447D/Documents/EFFF0ECE-4063-4FE5-984E-E76506788350.jpg

which would apparently work. If anyone has a clue how to resolve this, I would appreciate it.

UPDATE

I have a working example implementation here (geirman/react-native-photo-emailer) for anyone interested. It's dated, but I expect it would still work
