bug report

when using simulator we get the absolute path for image uri 

/Users/<user-name>/Library/Developer/CoreSimulator/Devices/1A59B43E-F0E3-4C58-9D4C-C37E784D9FE0/data/Containers/Data/Application/76F43B2B-FCE7-4D6B-AAD8-D3332AB8A0BF/tmp/ReactNative/B9DEF3D7-D357-4224-B32A-A185C23A0C04.png

but when we use the emulator we get relative path 

file:///data/user/0/<app-package-name>/cache/ReactNative-snapshot-image8476334127067790968.png

when we try to use open command to open the image it always fail with error 

The file /Users/<user-name>/file:/data/user/0/<app-package-name>/cache/ReactNative-snapshot-image8476334127067790968.png does not exist.

AFAIK file:/// format is the standard way that get accepted by other libraries too like react-native-fs or Image Editor, so we need more detail why this is a problem.
