Hello!

I'm trying to upload a pdf using this library, but it doesn't seem to be working.

I'm storing the response from picker in useState();

const res = await DocumentPicker.pickSingle({
            type: [
                DocumentPicker.types.images,
                DocumentPicker.types.pdf,
            ],
            copyTo: "documentDirectory",
        });
setManualToUpload(res)

then I'm appending this to form data, and using React Query, I'll post this to my backend:

const queryClient = useQueryClient();
    return useMutation(async (props: IUploadToolManual) => {
            let formData = new FormData();
            formData.append("files",  decodeURI(props.manuals[0].fileCopyUri));

            await _client.post(POSTENDPOINT,
                formData,
                {
                    headers: {
                        "Content-Type": "multipart/form-data",
                    },
                });
        },
    )

I have tried numerous solutions in regards to the file decoding:
I've tried decode the URI and fileCopyUri
I've tried replace("file://","") on both URI and fileCopyUri

It doesn't seem to find the document, but the output states it is there:

fileCopyUri: "file:///var/mobile/Containers/Data/Application/1B8281A9-F713-467A-8008-98649130D1B0/Documents/C33D66FD-D8C5-4E6A-880F-350149453686/7067742.pdf"

}
