copyAssetsFileIOS not working for gifs

[JohnBerd]

steps to reproduce

// item is a GIF image picked from IOS camera roll
const destination = `${RNFS.TemporaryDirectoryPath}${item.filename}`

let absolutePath = await RNFS.copyAssetsFileIOS(item.uri, destination, 0, 0)
 
// by checking directly in the destination, we find that the GIF has been converted into PNG

Hi @JohnBerd, I am also getting the same error, do you have any solution for this part?

Hi @Sotatek-DungNguyen7, I looked at the source code and only jpegs and pngs can be copied.

I had to install the expo modules and to use expo filesystem instead of this package.
