One way is to use react-native-fs. It has a copyAssetsFileIOS method which generates absolute path from an asset. The following sample copies the photo to the temp directory and gets its path:

import RNFS from 'react-native-fs';

getAbsolutePath = async (assetPath) => {
    const destination = `${RNFS.TemporaryDirectoryPath}${Math.random().toString(36).substring(7)}.png`;
    try {
      let absolutePath = await RNFS.copyAssetsFileIOS(assetPath, destination, 0, 0);
      console.log(absolutePath)
    } catch(error) {
      console.log(error)
    } 
}
