Error when resolveAsync from remote url

[Richtervn]

I'm trying to resolve an image from url.

I called AssetUtils.resolveAsync('https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/1/17/Batman-BenAffleck.jpg') and this error throw:

[Unhandled promise rejection: Error: Expected URL scheme 'http' or 'https' but was 'file']

I was bitten by this in expo-pixi, see bug report above. Also seems to be the same bug as #10, but maybe that one is more complicated. It seems to me as if expo-asset-utils fails to set localUri after downloading a remote resource (resolveAsync, if given a string, will use fromUriAsync to resolve an asset, then use resolveAsync again, at which point it will be an asset, which doesn't have localUri set, so it will try to download the asset, but at that point, uri is a file:// uri.

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

With [email protected] comes from [email protected]
I get the wrong [undefined]

With [email protected] comes from [email protected]
I get the right [{localUri, ...}]

So maybe you should upgrade react-native-unimodules
