image fetching fails in SDK 31 Android 5 and 7 about firebase-storage-upload-example

@edvin1983 I already have a fix. You can use this function to get the blob:
function urlToBlob(url) {
return new Promise((resolve, reject) => {
var xhr = new XMLHttpRequest();
xhr.onerror = reject;
xhr.onreadystatechange = () => {
if (xhr.readyState === 4) {
resolve(xhr.response);
}
};
xhr.open('GET', url);
xhr.responseType = 'blob'; // convert type
xhr.send();
})
}

;)

Yes, THANKYOU!

I was using Expo sdk 32 and there is literally nothing about getting an image to firebase storage in expo. It seemed impossible. However, your xhr example and the fantastic explanation around it in the github comment has solved everything. Well done.
