Here's an example code that downloads a file in React Native using the URL:

 1

import { WebBrowser } from 'expo';

async function downloadFile(url) {
  try {
    const result = await WebBrowser.openBrowserAsync(url);
    return result;
  } catch (error) {
    console.error(error);
  }
}


In this example, the WebBrowser.openBrowserAsync method is used to open the file in the default web browser and allow the user to download it. The url parameter should be a string representing the URL of the file to be downloaded.
