uploading BASE64 images to firebase storage

[thanvi...@gmail.com]

hi,

i am building react-native app.

i am using react-native-image-picker for uploading images from library and camera roll etc

as a a response i get BASE64 data such as 

/9j/4AAQSkZJRgABAQAASABIAAD/4QBYRXhpZgAATU0AKgAAAAgAAgESAAMAAAABAAEAAIdpAAQAAAABAAAAJgAAAAAAA6ABAAMAAAAB...........etc

my code is below-------

return (dispatch) => {

    dispatch({ type: HOME_PHOTO_URL_REQUEST });

    firebase.storage()

    .ref('new')

    .child(imageRef + new Date())

    // .put(blob, { contentType: 'image/jpg' })

    .putString(imagedata, 'base64', {contentType:'image/jpg'})

    .then((snapshot) => {

      const url = snapshot.metadata.downloadURLs[0];

      // const url = snapshot.metadata.downloadURLs;

      console.log('urls:', snapshot);

      dispatch({ type: HOME_PHOTO_URL_SUCCESS, payload: url });

    })

    .catch((error) => {

      dispatch({ type: HOME_PHOTO_URL_FAIL });

    });

  };

the upload is successfull and i get a url back from firebase storage but it does not show any images
