Fetch from tensorflow js fails

[hazel-sudz]

After selecting an image the fetch request from tfjs fails

Network request failed
- node_modules\@tensorflow\tfjs-react-native\dist\platform_react_native.js:80:49 in onerror
- node_modules\event-target-shim\lib\event-target.js:172:43 in dispatchEvent
- ... 8 more stack frames from framework internals

As correctly noted from the article comments this is caused by the fetch request from tfjs which only supports network fetch requests and not local requests

const response = await fetch(imageAssetPath.uri, {}, { isBinary: true }) will fail
const response = await fetch('https://testimage.jpg', {}, { isBinary: true }) will succeed

I will look into what can be done to fix this

Hey @daniel-sudz this is a great. If you are able to fix this, let me know, and with your permission, I'd add the you use case as well as your solution in the post itself. I haven't played much with tfjs tbh, and am just exploring the use cases just like you. :)

I'll let the issue open, until you decide to close it.

Hi, is there an update on this ? I ran into the same error

[amandeepmittal]

@Hasherz96 I think TFJS now supports local requests in React Native.

I will be updating the article/repo soon.

any updates on this?

@amandeepmittal have you been able to sucessfully request local files through the fetch function with the latest version of TFJS?

Does anyone have any idea why it's working on an iOS simulator, but it crashes on an Android mobile device (not emulator)?

Hey @amandeepmittal, I have made some changes and opened a pull request that fixes the problem on android but I was not able to test it on ios (not having an ios device) maybe you can test it on ios and let me know if there is anything that needs to be fixed 😄

[amandeepmittal]

Hey @sarthakpranesh thanks for the PR. Let me test on iOS and get back to you.
