Video is uploaded as an image from iOS device, how to upload properly

I have an app that gets the images/videos from the mobile gallery, then uploads one of them to a server, here are the steps i take, which works fine on Android:

1-get data from mobile storage:

MediaLibrary.getAssetsAsync({
  first: 20,
  mediaType: [MediaLibrary.MediaType.video, MediaLibrary.MediaType.photo]
})

2-upload to server:

formData.append('images[]', {
    uri: localUri,  
    name: isVideo ? 'untitled.mp4'  : 'untitled',//for testing
    type: isVideo ? 'video/mp4' : 'image/jpeg'
})

axios.post(`url`, formData, {headers: headers,timeout:999999})

The problem is videos are uploaded as an image (only the first frame of the video), while it gets uploaded successfully on Android, the problem is only present on iOS.

The uri of the retrieved files is as follows: assets-library://asset/asset.MP4?id=xxx&ext=MP4

Quick notes:

1 - the video is played fine locally using the <Video> component from Expo

2 - i tried using the CameraRoll API, but it gives the same results, and is a little buggy

any help would be appreciated
