Reading a file from Expo's cache as base64, writing to firebase storage (Cloud Storage for Firebase)

After using expo's ImagePicker and saving the image in the local cache, I am trying to save the image to firebase storage (or its new name, Cloud Storage for Firebase).

The relevant code is:

base64String =

  FileSystem.readAsStringAsync(photoUri,

  { encoding: FileSystem.EncodingTypes.Base64 });

and then

ref.putString(base64String,'base64',

  { contentType: 'image/jpeg' })

However, something is wrong with the image that I save to firestore, and I cannot view it (either directly from the firestore console or my code).

Am I doing anything wrong?

Yes... I have other problems with this code, that's why I am trying to use readAsStringAsync. See: github.com/expo/firebase-storage-upload-example/issues/14
