Alright, the real solution to this problem in my opinion is to get rid of
the `getRealPath` function altogether. Not all URIs have real paths and there
are always going to be some cases that fail. The "Android" way of handling this
is to use ContentResolvers in order to get input streams and to stop trying to
force everything into being a file on the device. Unfortunately, that is a
major rewrite of this plugin. The sheer number of JIRA issues and open PRs that
deal with it should be justification enough, though.
As for this PR, it does patch over one issue and so I'm inclined to leave
it open as is. The other issue you are seeing is related but requires a very
different fix. I believe there is already a JIRA open tracking it but I can't
recall the issue ID off the top of my head.
