I am trying to overwrite an image with a new image on Ios works perefctly, but on android it only creates the file the first time and then you cannot ovewrite it. I tried react-native-fs, expo-file-system and rn-fetch-blob, all give me the same result. I am using android 10 on real device and android 12 simulator.

react-native-fs

  const path = "file://" + RNFS.DocumentDirectoryPath + "/sign.png";

   RNFS.writeFile(
        path,
        signature.replace("data:image/png;base64,", ""),
        "base64"
      )
        .then(() => {
          dispatch(createSignature(path));
        })
        .catch(console.error);

expo

 const path = FileSystem.cacheDirectory + "sign.png";
      FileSystem.writeAsStringAsync(
        path,
        signature.replace("data:image/png;base64,", ""),
        { encoding: FileSystem.EncodingType.Base64 }
      )
        .then(() => FileSystem.getInfoAsync(path))
        .then(() => dispatch(createSignature(path)))
        .catch(console.error);
      setSign(signature);

rn-fetch-blob

      RNFetchBlob.fs
        .writeFile(
          `${RNFetchBlob.fs.dirs.DocumentDir}/sign.png`,
          signature.replace("data:image/png;base64,", ""),
          "base64"
        )
        .then(() => {
          dispatch(createSignature(path));
        })
        .catch((e) => console.log(e));
