rn-fetch-blog-repair

This is a modified version of the original rn-fetch-blob library, named rn-fetch-blog-repair, which includes a fix for compatibility with Android SDK 34 and above.

About

rn-fetch-blog-repair is a React Native library used for network requests (like fetch) that also supports file system access and handling large binary files like images and videos.

This version was created to address an issue in the original rn-fetch-blob related to registering receivers for the DownloadManager.ACTION_DOWNLOAD_COMPLETE intent in Android SDK 34 and higher.

Bug Description

In Android SDK 34, Google introduced stricter rules regarding the registration of broadcast receivers. When registering a receiver dynamically, either Context.RECEIVER_EXPORTED or Context.RECEIVER_NOT_EXPORTED must be specified if the receiver is not exclusively for system broadcasts. Failing to do so will result in the following error: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: One of RECEIVER_EXPORTED or RECEIVER_NOT_EXPORTED should be specified when a receiver isn't being registered exclusively for system broadcasts. The original rn-fetch-blob library did not account for this requirement, which caused apps targeting Android SDK 34 or higher to crash when registering the receiver for the DownloadManager.ACTION_DOWNLOAD_COMPLETE intent.

Changes from the Original Library

In the original rn-fetch-blob library, the following line:

// appCtx.registerReceiver(this, new
// IntentFilter(DownloadManager.ACTION_DOWNLOAD_COMPLETE));
if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= 34 && appCtx.getApplicationInfo().targetSdkVersion >= 34) {
    appCtx.registerReceiver(this, new IntentFilter(DownloadManager.ACTION_DOWNLOAD_COMPLETE),
            Context.RECEIVER_EXPORTED);
} else {
    appCtx.registerReceiver(this, new IntentFilter(DownloadManager.ACTION_DOWNLOAD_COMPLETE));
}
