RNFetchBlob.ios.previewDocument and .epub files

[eddnav]

It doesn't seem like previewDocument can open .epub with the default app (I think normally this would be iBooks), is there something that could be done for this? I'm using react-native-fetch-blob 0.10.4 and RN 0.42.3.

I tried using the optional scheme param to no avail:

    const ios = RNFetchBlob.ios;
    const dirs = RNFetchBlob.fs.dirs;

    RNFetchBlob
      .config({
        scheme: 'itms-books',
        path: dirs.DocumentDir + '/' + title + '.epub'
      })
      .fetch('GET', 'https://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/54563.epub', {
        // Headers here
      })
      .then((res) => {
        console.log('The file saved to ', res.path());
        ios.previewDocument(res.path()).catch((err) => Alert.alert('Foutmelding', 'Er is geen geschikte E-reader gevonden'));
      })
      .catch((err) => {
        Alert.alert('Foutmelding', 'Het downloaden van het boek is niet gelukt');
      })

Note: previewDocument behaves like openDocument here, it opens a dialog to select an action.

@eddnav , thanks for the information 👍 Have you tried it on a device?

Yup, on a simulator it just shows the same select action dialogue, just more empty, obviously without the iBook options.
