Issue with Flutter's ImagePicker returning null on iOS when using FutureBuilder
I'm reviewing some code and I keep running into I've tried everything I can think of but I'm collaborating on a project where I've tried everything I can think of but I've been struggling with this for a few days now and could really use some help... I'm facing a frustrating issue with the `ImagePicker` package in a Flutter app targeting iOS. When I try to pick an image using a `FutureBuilder`, the `PickedFile` is consistently returned as null, even though the image selection works perfectly when I run the picker directly outside of the `FutureBuilder`. Here's the relevant code snippet: ```dart import 'package:flutter/material.dart'; import 'package:image_picker/image_picker.dart'; class ImagePickerDemo extends StatelessWidget { @override Widget build(BuildContext context) { return Scaffold( appBar: AppBar(title: Text('Image Picker Demo')), body: Center(child: _imagePickerFutureBuilder()), ); } Widget _imagePickerFutureBuilder() { return FutureBuilder<PickedFile>( future: ImagePicker().getImage(source: ImageSource.gallery), builder: (BuildContext context, AsyncSnapshot<PickedFile> snapshot) { if (snapshot.connectionState == ConnectionState.waiting) { return CircularProgressIndicator(); } else if (snapshot.hasError) { return Text('Error: ${snapshot.error}'); } else if (snapshot.hasData && snapshot.data != null) { return Image.file(File(snapshot.data.path)); } return Text('No image selected.'); }, ); } } ``` I've ensured that the necessary permissions are set in my `Info.plist` file: ```xml <key>NSPhotoLibraryUsageDescription</key> <string>We need access to your photo library to select images.</string> <key>NSCameraUsageDescription</key> <string>We need access to your camera to take pictures.</string> ``` This issue only occurs on iOS (tested on a physical device with iOS 14), and it seems like the `FutureBuilder` does not wait for the image selection process to complete before trying to build the widget. I've tried using the `await` keyword in a separate method and then updating the state, but it didn't help. Does anyone have any insights or suggestions on how to resolve this issue? Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance! My development environment is macOS. My team is using Dart for this REST API. Any ideas how to fix this? For context: I'm using Dart on Debian. How would you solve this? I'm developing on Linux with Dart. Is there a better approach? My team is using Dart for this mobile app. What's the best practice here?
