I've implemented the video downloader functionality for Android, and it works perfectly with HLS streams (though DRM compatibility hasn't been fully tested). For reference, you can check my fork here: https://github.com/Muntader/react-native-video-with-downloader

If you're familiar with ios av video download, such as AVAssetDownloadURLSession, this should be easy for you, you can also find a lot of examples on git to use the exoplayer offline manager for android and AVAssetDownloadURLSession for ios ref: https://developer.apple.com/documentation/avfoundation/avassetdownloadurlsession/aggregateassetdownloadtask(with:mediaselections:assettitle:assetartworkdata:options:)
