Uri and file path doesn't work with jpeg for reading file base 64 IOS [Error: No such file]

[KOKOdeveloper]

Hello I'm using this library to get photos from gallery and it works perfect with HEIC format. I use like this

` const getGalleryImages = async (): Promise<IImageItem[]> => {
    return CameraRoll.getPhotos({
      first: 4,
      assetType: 'Photos',
      groupTypes: 'All',
      include: ['fileSize', 'filename', 'fileExtension', 'imageSize'],
    })
      .then(async res => {
        let images = [];
        for (let i = 0; i < res.edges.length; i += 1) {
          const {image} = res.edges[i].node;
          const imageData = await CameraRoll.iosGetImageDataById(image.uri, {
            convertHeicImages: true,
            quality: 1,
          });
          const data64 = await ReactNativeBlobUtil.fs.readFile(
            imageData.node.image.filepath ?? '',
            'base64',
          );
          images.push({
            image: imageData.node.image.filepath ?? '',
            name: imageData.node.image.filename ?? '',
            base64: data64,
            selected: false,
          });
        }
        return images;
      })
      .catch(e => {
        return [];
      });
  };`

But this code doesn't work if the file is "JPEG". So when I use this const data64 = await ReactNativeBlobUtil.fs.readFile( imageData.node.image.filepath ?? '', 'base64', );

It return [Error: No such file 'file:///Users/*****/Library/Developer/CoreSimulator/Devices/26DA6F20-97EA-439A-9727-15D3926440A2/data/Media/DCIM/100APPLE/IMG_0006.JPG

or with the image.uri:

const data64 = await ReactNativeBlobUtil.fs.readFile( image.uri, 'base64', );

It return "error such file 'ph://CC95F08C-88C3-4012-9D6D-64A413D254B3/L0/001"

I realise that when I use "CameraRoll.iosGetImageDataById" with option for convert HEIC format It create temp "filePath" that is returned and it works fine for reading base 64, path example (/Users/***/Library/Developer/CoreSimulator/Devices/26DA6F20-97EA-439A-9727-15D3926440A2/data/Containers/Data/Application/8B7CF391-64E8-4489-BB8F-49D5DE1B2C5A/tmp/IMG_0111.JPEG).

Can someone help me how to get correct file path for JPG how I can use ReactNativeBlobUtil.fs.readFile to get base 64.?

Did you find a solution yet? @KOKOdeveloper

[KOKOdeveloper]

Not yet, I'm waiting some of the contributors to present solution. Currently I just add "mimeTypes: ['image/heic']," to filter just "HEIC" format to complete the flow, but that's not okey from UX perspective want to show JPG as well ..

Try https://github.com/itinance/react-native-fs maybe that package can read those files. This is not an issue with this package should fix as it returns the correct uri
