Summary: This PR is a followup to https://github.com/facebook/react-native/pull/11417 and should be merged after that one is merged. 1. Add support for creating blobs from strings, not just other blobs 1. Add the `File` constructor which is a superset of `Blob` 1. Add the `FileReader` API which can be used to read blobs as strings or data url (base64) 1. Add support for uploading and downloading blobs via `XMLHttpRequest` and `fetch` 1. Add ability to download local files on Android so you can do `fetch(uri).then(res => res.blob())` to get a blob for a local file (iOS already supported this) 1. Clone the repo https://github.com/expo/react-native-blob-test 1. Change the `package.json` and update `react-native` dependency to point to this branch, then run `npm install` 1. Run the `server.js` file with `node server.js` 1. Open the `index.common.js` file and replace `localhost` with your computer's IP address 1. Start the packager with `yarn start` and run the app on your device If everything went well, all tests should pass, and you should see a screen like this: !

RNTester
The RNTester showcases React Native views and modules.
Running this app
Before running the app, make sure you ran:
git clone https://github.com/facebook/react-native.git
cd react-native
npm install
Running on iOS
Mac OS and Xcode are required.
- Open
RNTester/RNTester.xcodeprojin Xcode - Hit the Run button
See Running on device if you want to use a physical device.
Running on Android
You'll need to have all the prerequisites (SDK, NDK) for Building React Native installed.
Start an Android emulator (Genymotion is recommended).
cd react-native
./gradlew :RNTester:android:app:installDebug
./scripts/packager.sh
Note: Building for the first time can take a while.
Open the RNTester app in your emulator.
See Running on Device in case you want to use a physical device.
Running with Buck
Follow the same setup as running with gradle.
Install Buck from here.
Run the following commands from the react-native folder:
./gradlew :ReactAndroid:packageReactNdkLibsForBuck
buck fetch rntester
buck install -r rntester
./scripts/packager.sh
Note: The native libs are still built using gradle. Full build with buck is coming soon(tm).
Built from source
Building the app on both iOS and Android means building the React Native framework from source. This way you're running the latest native and JS code the way you see it in your clone of the github repo.
This is different from apps created using react-native init which have a dependency on a specific version of React Native JS and native code, declared in a package.json file (and build.gradle for Android apps).
