Description

This library:
https://github.com/ivpusic/react-native-image-crop-picker

returns an image object that has a path property that starts with file:///storage on android.
on iOS the path is just /Data...

using the returned path from the component with moveFile results in an error. The file can't be found. Now ok, I can replace file:// with an empty string and then moveFile finds the file on Android as well, but the funny thing is that if I want to use the new file with react native Image I have to again add file:// to the file, otherwise the Image component doesn't recognise the file as local.

Shouldn't we support operations with uri paths on Android?
