@superyarik thanks for the detailed information and reproduction! I've been able to see the same issue on Android 13. As a workaround, it looks like uri returns the correct value for photos and videos, so you could use that in the meantime.

Hi @keith-kurak , on iOS, we are blocked by this issue, on Android this issue can be resolved using your method but on iOS we get phAsset URI in URI and that doesn't allow us to upload the video. I am badly stuck due to this issue as there is no other way except localUri to upload video on iOS. Kindly help at your earliest. CC: @brentvatne @lukmccall @ajsmth

This issue still persists in expo SDK 47 (haven't tried with later versions yet). Is it resolved? any updates?
