Fixed RCTConvert+PSPDFDocument.m parseURL function to be able to handle custom remote sources.

[dmitry-blackwave]

Details

Passing a URL to the document prop causes an error on iOS. The reason is how the parseURL function handles incoming strings. If you pass a link, the function will try to find a local resource (which is not correct) and cause an error as a result.

Dependencies

react-native: 0.72.12
react-native-pspdfkit: 2.9.1
PSPDFKit: 13.3.3
PSPDFKit/Core: 13.3.3

Steps to reproduce

    <PSPDFKitView
      document={'https://pspdfkit.com/demo/examples/document-security/prevent-pdf-print-or-download/example.pdf'}
      configuration={{
        pageTransition: 'scrollContinuous',
        scrollDirection: 'vertical',
        documentLabelEnabled: true,
      }}
      style={{flex: 1, color: '#267AD4'}}
    />

or

    PSPDFKit.present('https://pspdfkit.com/demo/examples/document-security/prevent-pdf-print-or-download/example.pdf', {
      showThumbnailBar: 'scrollable',
      enableInstantComments: true,
    });

Acceptance Criteria

• When approved, right before merging, rebase with master and increment the package version in package.json, package-lock.json, samples/Catalog/package.json, samples/Catalog/yarn.lock, samples/NativeCatalog/package.json, and samples/NativeCatalog/yarn.lock (see example commit: b32b4ed).
• Create a new release (and tag) with the new package version (see https://github.com/PSPDFKit/react-native/releases).

Thank you for this contribution. Unfortunately Nutrient (PSPDFKit) is not able to accept public pull requests at this time. The ability to open documents from a remote URL on iOS was added in the 2.11.0 release: https://www.nutrient.io/guides/react-native/changelog/#2.11.0.
