I am using expo-image-picker to select image from device and I need to upload it to Firebase Storage. How can I create a File or Blob from uri?

This is the object I receive when selecting the image:

Object {
"cancelled": false,
"height": 1600,
"type": "image",
"uri": "file:///data/user/0/host.exp.exponent/cache/ExperienceData/test-app/ImagePicker/27aef7c8-3317-4980-a443-249fdc0b7096.jpg", "width": 900, }
