Share image from url as an image not as text

[basvdijk]

When I want to share an image made with the camera everything works fine. I get a prompt to share the image and can pick my app to share the image with e.g. Whatsapp, Instagram etc.

const image = await Camera.getPhoto({
  quality: 100,
  allowEditing: false,
  resultType: CameraResultType.Uri,
  source: CameraSource.Camera,
});

const res = await Share.share({
    url: image.path,
});

For our app we generate images. These images have an url e.g. https://myapp.com/generated/1293udsj When sharing this url the Share plugin sees this as just an text url instead of an image.

It looks like the Share plugin only sees the url as an image when it is stored on the device. Does anyone know a workaround for this? I've tried to download the file first and then pick it from the filesystem with no luck. Maybe there is a way to share base64 or blobdata?

Thanks!
