Image upload with axios react native android

Question

I am trying to upload image to an API the iOS version is working good but there is problem in android, My code is bellow.

const uploadUri =
    Platform.OS === 'ios'
      ? uploadImageFile.replace('file:', '')
      : uploadImageFile;
  // console.log(uploadUri);
  const data = new FormData();
  data.append('file', {
    uri: uploadUri,
    name: 'file',
    type: 'image/jpg',
  });
  Axios.post(`${API.BASE_URL}/user/image`, data, {
    headers: {
      Authorization: token,
      'Content-Type': 'multipart/form-data',
    },
  })
    .then((res) => {
      setActivity(false);
      setIsImageEdit(false);
      console.log('success');
    })
    .catch((error) => {
      setActivity(false);
      if (error.response) {
        console.log(error.response.data);
        console.log(error.response.status);
        console.log(error.response.headers);
      } else if (error.request) {
        console.log(error.request);
      } else {
        console.log('Error', error.message);
      }
      setIsImageEdit(false);
    });

The error response I get is

in AndroidManifest.xml
