android.os.FileUriExposedException on installRemoteApp()

[fauno]

Hi, I can't seem to use this code to install a downloaded app:

SendIntentAndroid
  .installRemoteApp('http://10.4.23.68:8080/app-release.apk', 'app.apk')
  .then((installWasStarted) => console.log(installWasStarted));

Throws this:

I ReactNativeJS: false

Both from master and 1.0.30 using RN 0.59, the target SDK is 28. The only changes I've made to the code are from PR #99. Though it's no clear what should happen, does the apk installer open and offers the user to install the apk? I've checked #78, and added the permission recommended here https://stackoverflow.com/questions/45726654/install-apk-programmatically-in-android-8-api-26

Made it work with this patch, should I make a PR?

Hi @fauno

The PR #99 it's about AndroidX + RN 0.60+ support. Do you think that your problem it's related to this scenario?

By the way if you could make some PR with your improvements that will be great ;)
