Android, tries to download local files

[YousefED]

On android, when I pass a file:// to AssetUtils.resolveAsync(), it will try to download the file, even though it's already on the file system. This results in an error as local files can't be downloaded (unexpected url).

My current workaround:

const fromUri = await AssetUtils.fromUriAsync(localUri);
        fromUri.localUri = fromUri.uri;
        // console.warn(fromUri);

        const uriResolved = await AssetUtils.resolveAsync(fromUri);
        // console.warn(uriResolved);

Related, also can't load file from distant URL:

// Test 1
let texture = await ExpoTHREE.loadTextureAsync({ asset: 'URL_OF_DISTANT_FILE'});
texture.localUri = texture.uri;
texture.downloaded = true;
  
// Test 2
let texture = await AssetUtils.fromUriAsync('URL_OF_DISTANT_FILE');
texture.localUri = texture.uri;
texture.downloaded = true;
console.log(texture);

// Test 3
let texture = await AssetUtils.resolveAsync('URL_OF_DISTANT_FILE');
texture.downloaded = true;
texture.localUri = texture.uri;
console.log(texture);

I always got the following error:

[Unhandled promise rejection: Error: unexpected url: file:///data/user/0/host.exp.exponent/cache/ExperienceData/%2540knpa%252Fappname/95b6ffc1181ac3fb943311280f776e7e.jpg]

console.warn(await Asset.loadAsync(require('some.png')))

I get the wrong [undefined]

I get the right [{localUri, ...}]

So maybe you should upgrade react-native-unimodules
