Fixes the errors Type 'Uint8List' not found
and 'Uint8List' isn't a type
(#1260). Thank you @miguelslemos!
Fixes the bug that the current directory sometimes changed after the user picked a file. Now, after the dialog is closed, the current directory is automatically restored to its original value even if the user changed the directory while searching for files (#1254). Thank you @Tokenyet!
Fixes the behavior of the saveFile()
dialog on Ubuntu/Kubuntu. This fix should have been committed in the previous version 5.2.7 but was forgotten. Now, when the user selects an already existing file, then Ubuntu prompts the user to confirm overwriting this file. This change finally makes the dialog behave the same on all desktop platforms (macOS, Linux, and Windows) (#989).
Fixes the behavior of the saveFile()
dialog on Windows. Now, when the user selects an already existing file, then Windows prompts the user to confirm overwriting this file. This change makes the dialog behave the same on all desktop platforms (macOS, Linux, and Windows). Previously, Windows would not have asked the user for confirmation (#989).

Handle UTTypeCreatePreferredIdentifierForTag
returning NULL
. This prevents a crash observed
on the iOS simulator on Apple Silicon (#1040).
Add conditional compilation of media, audio and document pickers for iOS. This prevents error messages for permissions (NSPhotoLibraryUsageDescription, NSAppleMusicUsageDescription, etc.) when publishing to app store connect, in case you don't need either category. This addresses #783 in a different way.
Adds display:none
to the internal input element to fix a display issue in specific scenario's.
Changes the implementation of getDirectoryPath()
on Windows to provide a modern dialog that looks the same as a file picker dialog (#915).
Adds the additional parameter initialDirectory
to configure the initial directory where the dialog should be opened. This parameter is supported for all three dialogs (pick files, pick directory, and save file). The only exception is that the parameter does not work on Windows for the function getDirectoryPath()
. Please note that this feature has not been implemented for Android and iOS.
Introduces two fixes for the KDE Plasma Linux implementation which uses kdialog
to open the file picker dialogs. Firstly, the selection of multiple files is fixed so that file paths with blanks/spaces are handled correctly. Secondly, file type filters are implemented. Thank you @w1th0utnam3.
Fixes the issue under Windows that the save-file dialog did not open if the specified file name contained an illegal character. Windows prohibits the usage of reserved characters in file names. Now the exception IllegalCharacterInFileNameException
is thrown if the specified file name contains forbidden characters
(#926).
Adds KDE Plasma's kdialog
arguments, allowing filepicker
to invoke kdialog
for file system manipulation using shell scripts on distributions that use KDE Plasma as their Desktop Environment and don't ship zenity
or qarma
.
Adds the parameter lockParentWindow
for Windows desktop. This parameter makes the file picker dialog behave like a modal window. That is, the file picker always stays in front of the Flutter window until it is closed. Thank you @vinicios-cervantes.
Fixes the issue under Windows that the user could not select more than about 256 files (depending on the length of the file paths) because the buffer size for storing the selected file paths was too small. (#918).
Fixes the issue under Windows that the user could select all file types even though a file type filter was enabled. This error existed because the user could select the entry All Files (*.*)
in the file type filter dropdown. Also, fixes the bug under macOS that users could select files without file extension even when one of the pre-defined file type filters (audio, image, video, or media) was enabled. (#871).
Fixes linting error during builds (#851).
Fixes the issue of picking filenames that contain a comma followed by a space (#890).
Improves error handling when device can't fetch files due to low storage space (#885).
Fixed an issue that was creating a crash when media in PHPickerViewController in iOs was tapped several times very fast, we check that _result is not empty to avoid the crash. No Github issue created.
Reverts Android READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE
permission removal.
Removes <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE"/>
permission from the platform implementation Manifest since may not be required for some applications and devs can manually add it to their own application if needed (#864).
Fixes an issue where onFileLoading
would be called while picking directories (#863).
Adds the identifier
property to the PlatformFile
which references the original file identifier for both iOS & Android (#804).
Fixes the issue that users could not pick .app
files on macOS because FilePicker tried to determine the file size of .app
files. On macOS, these special kind of files are actually Unix directories in a special format (read more on StackExchange). Now, if a file is picked, which is actually a directory, then the file size will be zero. (#856)
- Fixes an issue that would prevent the call to return when both
withReadStream
andallowMultiple
were set. (#843). - Addresses an issue in the example app.
Addresses an issue where multiple media files couldn't be picked in some 3rd party explorers (#846). Thank you @innim98.
Fixes an issue where Live Photos were being picked as .pvt
packages (since iOS 15). From now on, if allowCompression
is set to true
, Live Photos will automatically be converted to static JPEG pictures. (#835)
Fixes the issue that on Linux the file type filter FileType.any
did not allow the selection of files without file extension. (#836)
Fixes an issue that would result in picker being dismissed by pulling down the modal sheet without an event. (#828)
Addresses an issue when comparing files on Web would result in an error due to path
not being accessible. (#822)
Extends API by new function saveFiles()
for opening a save-file dialog as requested in #799. This feature is only supported on desktop platforms (Linux, macOS, and Windows).
Makes the path
getter nullable to match with its property (#823).
Fixes custom extension filter. Thank you @jgoyvaerts.
Overrides equality and toString for platform_file
and file_picker_result
for better comparison different results. Thank you @Nolence.
- Changes the presentation type of the picker from
UIModalPresentationCurrentContext
toUIModalPresentationAutomatic
(#813).
- Fixes regression of #746.
- Updates exception text when trying to access
path
on Web. Thank you @maxzod.
Desktop support added for all platforms (MacOS, Linux & Windows) (#271) 🎉
From now on, you'll be able to use file_picker with all your platforms, a big thanks to @philenius, which made this possible and allowed the flutter_file_picker_desktop to be merged with this one.
Have in mind that because of platforms differences, that the following API methods aren't available to use on Desktop:
- The
onFileLoading()
isn't necessary, hence,FilePickerStatus
won't change, since it hasn't any effect on those; clearTemporaryFiles()
isn't necessary since those files aren't created — the platforms will always use a reference to the original file;- There is a new optional parameter
dialogTitle
which can be used to set the title of the modal dialog when picking the files;
Adds onFileLoading()
to Web. (#766).
- Addresses an issue where an invalid custom file extension wouldn't throw an error when it should. Thank you @Jahn08.
- Fixes
getDirectoryPath()
#745. Thank you @tomm1e.
- Removes analysis_options.yaml from the plugin and fixes the Don't import implementation files from another package warning (#746).
- Addresses an issue where bytes might be missing after first picking when
withData
is set totrue

- Add event when canceling the picker. (Thank you @letranloc).
- Updates example app to null safety.
Adds null safety support (#510).
- Fixes an issue where a crash could happen when picking a lot of media files in low memory devices (#606).

preferredAssetRepresentationMode
. Thank you @nrikiji.
- Addresses an issue on iOS 14 and later where events
onFileLoading
events weren't being provided (#577).
- Web: Updates

Adds withReadStream
that allows bigger files to be streamed read into a Stream<List<int>>
. Thanks @redsolver.
Updates extension
helper getter to use the name
property instead of path
, since the latest isn't available on the Web, hence, the extension wouldn't be as well. Thank you @markgrancapal.
Android:
- Fixes an issue that could result in some files not being properly retrieved due to special characters on their names. (#472)
- Fixes a NPE that could happen with some devices. (#482)
iOS: Fixes FileType.audio
exports to support ipod-library content (non DRM protected). From now on, a cached asset (m4a) will be exported from the selected music file in the Music app, so it can later be used. Fixes (#441).
Adds missing extension to name
property of PlatformFile
. (#444)
Minor fix on CHANGELOG regarding version 2.0.9
.
Android: Updates package visibility to fully support Android 11 (SDK 30 and later). (#440)

Breaking Changes
- Unifies all platforms (IO, Web and Desktop) in a single plugin (file_picker) that can be used seamlessly across all. Both file_picker_interface and file_picker_web are no longer mantained from now on.
- You'll now have to use
FilePicker.platform.pickFiles()
and extract the files fromFilePickerResult
; - Because platforms are unified and mixing
File
instances from dart:io and dart:html required stubbing and bloated code, it's no longer available as helper method so you'll have to instanciate aFile
with the picked paths;
New features
- Simplified usage, now you only need to use
FilePicker.platform.pickFiles()
with desired parameters which will return aFilePickerResult
with aList<PlatformFile>
containing the picked data; - Added classes
FilePickerResult
andPlatformFile
classes with helper getters; - On Android all picked files are scoped cached which should result in most of files being available. Caching process is only made once, so once done, the picked instance should be the same;
- On iOS picking audio now supports multiple and cloud picks;
- Added parameter
withData
that allows file data to be immediately available on memory asUint8List
(part ofPlatformFile
instance). This is particularly helpful on web or if you are going to upload to somehwere else; - Major refactor with some clean-up and improvements;
Removed
- Single methods such as
getFilePath()
,getMultiFilePath()
,getFile()
andgetMultiFile()
are no longer availble in favor opickFiles()
;
Go: Updates MacOS directory picker to applescript (thank you @trister1997).
Android: fixes picking paths from Downloads directory on versions below Android Q.
Android: adds support to non-legacy picking on Android Q or above (thank you @lakshyab1995).
Fixes an issue that could prevent 1.13.0
from being built due to missing allowCompression
property.
Adds allowCompression
property that will define if media (video & image) files are allowed to be compressed by OS when picked. On Android this has no effect as it already returns the original file or an integral copy.
Adds getDirectoryPath()
desktop (go) implementation.
Updates tearDown() call order on Android's implementation.
Updates README file (iOS preview).
Updates README file.
Adds onFileLoading
handler for every picking method that will provide picking status: FilePickerStatus.loading
and FilePickerStatus.done
so you can, for example, display a custom loader.
Adds getDirectoryPath()
method that allows you to select and pick directory paths. Android, requires SDK 21 or above for this to work, and iOS requires iOS 11 or above.
Adds a temporary workaround on Android where it can trigger onRequestPermissionsResult
twice, related to Flutter issue 49365 for anyone affected in Flutter versions below 1.14.6.
Adds clearTemporaryFiles()
that allows you to explicitly remove cached files — on Android applies typically to those picked from remote providers, on iOS all picked files are cached.
Updates podspec to use only PhotoGallery from DKImagePickerController (thanks @jamesdixon!)
Minor fix on getFile()
method — should affect only those on 1.8.0.
Adds FileType.media
that will allow you to pick video and images at the same time. On iOS, this will let you pick directly from Photos app (gallery), if you want to use Files app, you must use FileType.custom
with desired extensions.
Updates iOS multi gallery picker dependency and adds a modal loading while fetching exporting assets.
Breaking change
Added support for multi-picks of videos and photos from Photos app on iOS through DKImagePicker — use any of the getMulti
methods with FileType.image
or FileType.video
. From now on, you'll need to add use_frameworks!
in your ios/Podfile.

when restricting types while picking. - Other minor improvements;
- iOS: Fixes an issue that could result in a crash when selecting files (with repeated taps) from 3rd party remote providers (Google Drive, Dropbox etc.);
- Go: Updates channel name;
- Adds check that ensures that you one uses
FileType.custom
when providing a custom file extension filter;
Updates channel name on iOS.
Adds temporary workaround for (#49365)(flutter/flutter#49365) until 1.14.6 lands on stable channel.
- Breaking change: Refactored
FileType
to match lower camelCase Dart guideline (eg.FileType.ALL
now isFileType.any
); - Added support for new Android plugins APIs (Android V2 embedding);
Updates dependencies.
Removes checked flutter_export_environment.sh from example app.
Bug fix

- Updates Go-Flutter with go 1.13.
Bug fix: Fixes an issue that could result in some cached files, picked from Google Photos (remote file), to have the name set as null
.
Bug fix: Fixes an issue that could prevent internal storage files from being properly picked.
New features
- Adds Desktop support throught go-flutter, you can see detailed instructions on how to get in runing here.
- Adds Desktop example, to run it just do
hover init
and thenhover run
within the plugin's example folder (you must have go and hover installed, check the previous point). - Similar to
getFile
, now there is also agetMultiFile
which behaves the same way, but returning a list of files instead.
Improvements
- Updates Android SDK deprecated code.
- Sometimes when a big file was being picked from a remote directory (GDrive for example), the UI could be blocked. Now this shouldn't happen anymore.
Bug fix: Fixes an issue that could cause a crash when picking files with very long names.
Changes: Updates Android target API to 29.
Rollback - Breaking change: Re-adds runtime verification for external storage read permission. Don't forget to add the permission to the AndroidManifest.xml
file as well. More info in the README file.
Bug fix: Fixes a crash that could cause some Android API to crash when multiple files were selected from external storage.
Improvements
- Removes the Android write permissions requirement.
- Minor improvements in the example app.
- Now the exceptions are rethrown in case the user wants to handle them, despite that already being done in the plugin call.
Bug fix: Fixes an issue that could prevent users to pick files from the iCloud Drive app, on versions below iOS 11.
Rollback: Removes a local dependency that shouldn't have been committed with 1.3.4
which would cause Android build to fail.
Bug fix: Protects the registrar.activity()
in the Android side of being accessed when it's null
.
Bug fixes
- Fixes an issue where sometimes a single file path was being returned as a
List
instead ofString
. requestCode
in Android intents are now restricted to 16 bits.
Bug fix: Returns a null
value in the getFile()
when the picker is canceled.
Bug fix: Fixes an issue on Android, where other activity would try to call FilePicker
's result object when it shouldn't.
Breaking changes
FileType.CAMERA
is no longer available, if you need it, you can use this package along with image_picker.
New features
- You can now pick multiple files by using the
getMultiFilePath()
method which will return aMap<String,String>
with all paths from selected files, where the key matches the file name and the value its path. Optionally, it also supports filtering by file extension, otherwise all files will be selectable. Nevertheless, you should keep usinggetFilePath()
for single path picking. - You can now use
FileType.AUDIO
to pick audio files. In iOS this will let you select from your music library. Paths from DRM protected files won't be loaded (see README for more details). - Adds
getFile()
utility method that does the same ofgetFilePath()
but returns aFile
object instead, for the returned path.
Bug fixes and updates
- This package is no longer attached to the image_picker, and because of that, camera permission is also no longer required.
- Fixes an issue where sometimes the InputStream wasn't being properly closed. Also, its exception is now being forward to the plugin caller.
- Fixes an issue where the picker, when canceled, wasn't calling the result callback on the underlying platforms.
Breaking change: Migrate from the deprecated original Android Support Library to AndroidX. This shouldn't result in any functional changes, but it requires any Android apps using this plugin to also migrate if they're using the original support library.
- Updates README file.
Breaking changes
FileType.PDF
was removed since now it can be used along with custom file types by using theFileType.CUSTOM
and providing the file extension (e.g. PDF, SVG, ZIP, etc.).FileType.CAPTURE
