react-native How to open local file url using Linking?

$

I'm using the following code to download a file (can be a PDF or a DOC) and then opening it using Linking.

const { dirs } = RNFetchBlob.fs;
let config = {
    fileCache : true,
    appendExt : extension,
    addAndroidDownloads : {
        useDownloadManager : false,
        notification : false,
        title : 'File',
        description : 'A file.',
        path: `${dirs.DownloadDir}/file.${extension}`,
    },
};
RNFetchBlob.config(config)
    .fetch(
        method,
        remoteUrl,
        APIHelpers.getDefaultHeaders()
    )
    .then((res) => {
        let status = res.info().status;
        if (status == 200) {
            Linking.canOpenURL(res.path())
                .then((supported) => {
                    if (!supported) {
                        alert('Can\'t handle url: ' + res.path());
                    } else {
                        Linking.openURL(res.path())
                            .catch((err) => alert('An error occurred while opening the file. ' + err));
                    }
                })
                .catch((err) => alert('The file cannot be opened. ' + err));
        } else {
            alert('File was not found.')
        }
    })
    .catch((errorMessage, statusCode) => {
        alert('There was some error while downloading the file. ' + errorMessage);
    });

However, I'm getting the following error:

An error occurred while opening the file. Error: Unable to open URL:file:///Users/abhishekpokhriyal/Library/Developer/CoreSimulator/Devices/3E2A9C16-0222-40A6-8C1C-EC174B6EE9E8/data/Containers/Data/Application/A37B9D69-583D-4DC8-94B2-0F4AF8272310/Documents/RNFetchBlob_tmp/RNFetchBlobTmp_o259xexg7axbwq3fh6f4.pdf

I need to implement the solution for both iOS and Android.
