13.1.0

• Added support for UIScene on iOS.

13.0.0

General

• BREAKING CHANGE: PlatformFile.length() now returns Future<int?> instead of Future<int>, matching lengthSync(). null means the length could not be determined (e.g. a failed disk read), distinct from a genuinely empty file, which still returns 0. Previously both cases returned 0, with no way to tell them apart. #2197
• BREAKING CHANGE: Removed the parameters deprecated since the 12.0.0 federated rewrite: allowMultiple and withData/withReadStream/readSequential on pickFiles(), lockParentWindow on pickFiles()/pickFile()/getDirectoryPath()/saveFile(), cancelUploadOnWindowBlur on pickFiles()/pickFile(), and androidSafOptions on pickFiles()/pickFile()/getDirectoryPath(). Use pickFile() for single-file selection, PlatformFile.readAsBytes()/readAsByteStream() to read file data, WindowsOptions.lockParentWindow/LinuxOptions.lockParentWindow, WebOptions.cancelUploadOnWindowBlur, and androidOptions respectively. #2202
• Raised lower bounds of all platform implementation packages: file_picker_platform_interface ^4.0.0, android_file_picker ^2.0.0, file_picker_darwin ^2.0.0, file_picker_linux ^2.0.0, windows_file_picker ^2.0.0, and file_picker_web ^4.0.0.

Web

• Fixed FilePickerWebOptions.readSequential having no effect (file_picker_web 4.0.0). #2206

Android & iOS

• Removed the dead native code paths behind withData (android_file_picker 2.0.0, file_picker_darwin 2.0.0). #2202

12.3.0

Desktop (Windows)

• Added WindowsOptions.acceptLabel, letting callers set the confirm ("OK") button text on pickFile(), pickFiles(), getDirectoryPath(), and saveFile() dialogs. #1861

macOS

• Added DarwinOptions.acceptLabel, letting callers set the confirm button text for pickFile()/pickFiles() (NSOpenPanel.prompt). Has no effect on iOS. #1861

12.2.0

General

• Added PlatformFile.lengthSync(), replacing the size property removed in 12.0. It returns the length the native picker already reported, without any I/O, or null when the platform did not report one, in which case length() still reads it from disk. #2187
• Raised the lower bounds on the platform implementations and the platform interface together. PlatformFile.lengthSync() is abstract, so an implementation published before it does not satisfy the new interface, and leaving the old bounds would let pub resolve a combination that compiles nowhere.

12.1.3

General

• Raised the lower bounds on the platform implementations to the first versions built against file_picker_platform_interface 3.2.0. The facade already required ^3.2.0 for the interface itself, but still allowed implementations predating the DarwinOptions parameter added there, so pub could legally resolve a combination that does not compile. #2186

12.1.2

General

• Stopped importing file_picker_darwin directly from the facade package. skipEntitlementsChecks() now dispatches through the new FilePickerPlatform.skipEntitlementsChecks() hook instead of a type test on FilePickerPlatform.instance. That import pulled dart:io into file_picker's import graph, making the package incompatible with wasm and breaking analysis when resolved against the lowest allowed dependency versions. No behavior change on any platform.

iOS

• Added darwinOptions (DarwinOptions) to pickFile()/pickFiles(), letting callers set DarwinAssetRepresentationMode to request the photo library return media in its current or a compatible representation instead of always transcoding to the system default (automatic). Restores a way to avoid expensive transcoding for large HEVC, HDR, or slow-motion videos, which existed before the Darwin implementation was rewritten. Non-automatic modes require compressionQuality: 0, mixing the two throws an ArgumentError.

12.1.1

macOS

• Fixed FilePicker.skipEntitlementsChecks() being a permanent no-op. It now delegates to FilePickerDarwin.skipEntitlementsChecks() when running on macOS, so non-sandboxed apps can actually skip the App Sandbox entitlement checks again.

12.1.0

General

• Added PlatformFile.extension, restoring the pre-12.0 convenience getter that was dropped during the federated rewrite. Returns the file extension of name without the leading dot, or null if there is none.

iOS

• Fixed a crash (FileSystemException/OSError: Is a directory) when picking a Live Photo from the gallery. Live Photos are saved by iOS as .pvt packages (directories); the still image contained in the package is now extracted instead of returning the package itself.

12.0.0

Breaking Changes

• Minimum Requirements: Raised minimum supported versions to Flutter 3.38 / Dart 3.10.
• iOS Target: Raised minimum supported iOS deployment target to 14.0. Removed DKImagePickerController / DKPhotoGallery dependency chain.
• API Modifications:
  • saveFile(): fileName and bytes are now required parameters across all platforms.
  • Removed FilePickerResult. pickFiles() now returns Future<List<PlatformFile>> directly (an empty list instead of null, no .files/.count/.isSinglePick wrapper), and pickFile() returns Future<PlatformFile?> for a single selection.
  • pickFiles(): allowMultiple now defaults to true. Use pickFile() for single file selection (allowMultiple is deprecated).
  • Deprecated withData, withReadStream, and readSequential on pickFiles()/pickFile() in favor of PlatformFile.readAsBytes() and PlatformFile.readAsByteStream().
  • Deprecated top-level lockParentWindow and cancelUploadOnWindowBlur parameters in favor of platform-specific option classes (WindowsOptions, LinuxOptions, WebOptions).

Architecture

• Federated Plugin: Refactored file_picker into a federated architecture with dedicated platform implementation packages (file_picker_platform_interface, android_file_picker, file_picker_darwin, file_picker_linux, windows_file_picker, and file_picker_web).

Features & Enhancements

• New API: Added pickFile() static method as a convenience wrapper for single file selection.
• Platform Options: Introduced WindowsOptions, LinuxOptions (with acceptLabel and parentWindow), and WebOptions.
• Android: Added support for Storage Access Framework (SAF) Persistable URI Grants (AndroidSAFOptions, AndroidSAFHandle, AndroidPlatformFile). Optimized image compression to prevent OutOfMemoryError.
• iOS & macOS: Unified native implementations into shared Darwin sources. Selection order is now preserved when picking multiple files on iOS.
• Exception Handling: Exported IllegalCharacterInFileNameException in file_picker.dart.

12.0.0-beta.8

General

• Exported IllegalCharacterInFileNameException in file_picker.dart so exception handling can be performed by callers. #2077

Android

• Decodes images with inSampleSize in compressImage to prevent excessive memory usage and OutOfMemoryError on large images. #2083

Desktop & Web

• Added WindowsOptions (with parentWindowHandle and lockParentWindow), LinuxOptions (with parentWindow and lockParentWindow), and WebOptions (with cancelUploadOnWindowBlur). #2079
• LinuxOptions.parentWindow automatically formats raw decimal and hex X11 window IDs as x11:0x..., while preserving Wayland handle strings.
• Deprecated top-level lockParentWindow parameter in favor of WindowsOptions.lockParentWindow and LinuxOptions.lockParentWindow.
• Deprecated top-level cancelUploadOnWindowBlur parameter in favor of WebOptions.cancelUploadOnWindowBlur.

macOS

• Passes the custom dialogTitle when selecting a directory via getDirectoryPath(). #2087

12.0.0-beta.7

Web

• Ensures XFile.fromData is only used on the web if bytes is not null, preventing potential null check errors.

12.0.0-beta.6

General

• Improved PlatformFile.readAsBytes() so picked files can be read even when withData was not used and the file only has a local path or a stream source.
• FileType.custom now shares a consistent allowedExtensions validation across platforms, throwing ArgumentError when filters are missing or used with a non-custom file type.
• The ffi, win32, and flutter_lints dependencies have been updated.

Android

• Prevents unresolved references when extracting hashCode under a forced JVM version. #2070

12.0.0-beta.5

Android

• saveFile now writes file data using Kotlin Coroutines (CoroutineScope(Dispatchers.IO).launch), keeping all I/O off the main thread and preventing UI freezes.

iOS

• Fixed a race condition when dismissing the file picker with a fast swipe, preventing the picker from getting stuck in a multiple_request state until app restart. #2021
• iOS now preserves the selection order when picking multiple files: the list of returned files will match the order in which the user selected them.
• saveFile now performs file writing on a background thread (DispatchQueue.global), preventing UI freezes when saving large files.

Web

• Fixed PlatformFile.readAsBytes() so files picked on Web can recover data from blob: and data: URLs when withData was not used.
• Added Web fallback to stream file bytes from blob:/data: URLs: when the ReadableStream API is supported.

12.0.0-beta.4

General

• Added pickFile() static method as a convenience wrapper for single file selection, returning PlatformFile? directly. #1469
• BREAKING CHANGE: Refactored saveFile() to make fileName and bytes required parameters across all platforms for a more consistent API. Improved the method's documentation for better clarity.
• Improved documentation for PlatformFile properties (path, bytes, readStream) to clarify nullability and usage across platforms. #1469
• BREAKING CHANGE: The allowMultiple parameter on pickFiles() now defaults to true. Use pickFile() for single-file selection. (allowMultiple is deprecated and will be removed in a future release.)
• Deprecated withData, withReadStream, and readSequential on pickFiles()/pickFile(). Users should call PlatformFile.readAsBytes() or PlatformFile.readAsByteStream() to load file data on demand. These parameters will be removed in a future release.
• Improved PlatformFile.toString() output to display byte length instead of full content.

Android

• Fixed an issue where FileType.any would prevent subdirectories from being listed in the system file explorer by ensuring EXTRA_MIME_TYPES is correctly passed as an array. #2013
• Removed explicit Kotlin Gradle Plugin (KGP) application and dependencies from build files to resolve warnings under AGP 9.0+.
• Updated Android build tooling and dependencies: Android Gradle Plugin bumped to 8.5.2, androidx.core:core and androidx.core:core-ktx updated to 1.18.0, androidx.lifecycle:lifecycle-runtime updated to 2.10.0, and org.apache.tika:tika-core updated to 3.3.0.
• Migrated Android build files from Groovy to Kotlin DSL (build.gradle.kts, settings.gradle.kts).
• Added Android AGP compatibility CI workflow.

Darwin

• Added missing FlutterFramework dependency to Package.swift for Swift Package Manager (SPM) compatibility.

12.0.0-beta.3

General

• Added onFileLoading callback to saveFile and implemented status tracking via an event channel. saveFile now reports loading status (for example FilePickerStatus.loading and FilePickerStatus.done).
• Offloaded file saving (writing bytes) to a background isolate to avoid blocking the UI when saving large files.
• Ensured the event subscription used for loading status is always cancelled in a finally block to prevent leaks and spurious events.

Android

• Fixed Android plugin registration when using AGP 9+ with android.builtInKotlin=false, while preserving support for older AGP setups.

12.0.0-beta.2

General

• Updated dependencies: flutter_plugin_android_lifecycle to 2.0.34, path to 1.9.1, win32 to 6.2.0, cross_file to 0.3.5+2, web to 1.1.1, and dbus to 0.7.12.

Android

• Added a controlled out_of_memory error when picking large files with withData, avoiding Android crashes and recommending withReadStream as a safer alternative for large or multiple selections. #1997 Breaking Change: FileType.image now opens the native image gallery instead of the document picker, ignoring allowedExtensions on Android. #2004

12.0.0-beta.1

General

• Raised the minimum supported Flutter/Dart version to Flutter 3.38 / Dart 3.10 across all platforms. #1980

Windows

• Migrated win32 dependency to 6.0.0 and updated the Windows file picker implementation to match the new Win32/COM APIs. #1980

Darwin

• Added AndroidSAFOptions and AndroidSAFHandle to configure and manage persistent permissions.
• Introduced AndroidPlatformFile as a subclass of PlatformFile to encapsulate SAF-specific metadata.
• Updated the Android Gradle Wrapper to 8.7 to ensure compatibility with Android Gradle Plugin (AGP) 8.5.1.
• Improved saveFile naming behavior when a duplicate file exists, normalizing duplicate names to keep the extension suffix (for example, file (1).bak instead of file.bak (1)). #1947

Web

• Fixed pickFiles() default withData behavior in the public API to correctly default to true on web when not explicitly provided. #1987

11.0.3

Android

• Removed the Apache Tika dependency (~300 KB) used for MIME type detection in saveFile(). MIME types are now resolved from the file name extension via MimeTypeMap, with URLConnection.guessContentTypeFromStream as a content-sniffing fallback when no extension is available. #2101

11.0.2

Android

• Fixed a Path Traversal vulnerability (CWE-22) when resolving file paths from external content providers. #1967

Linux

This change finally makes the dialog behave the same on all desktop platforms (macOS, Linux, and Windows) (#989).

5.2.7

Desktop (Windows)

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 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.

4.5.1

Web

Adds display:none to the internal input element to fix a display issue in specific scenario's.

4.5.0

Desktop (Windows)

Changes the implementation of getDirectoryPath() on Windows to provide a modern dialog that looks the same as a file picker dialog (#915).

4.4.0

Desktop (Linux, macOS, and Windows)

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.

4.3.3

Desktop (Linux)

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.

4.3.2

Desktop (Windows)

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).

4.3.1

Desktop (Linux)

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.

4.3.0

Desktop (Windows)

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.

4.2.8

Desktop (Windows)

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).

4.2.7

Desktop (macOS & Windows)

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).

4.2.6

Android

Fixes linting error during builds (#851).

4.2.5

Desktop (macOS)

Fixes the issue of picking filenames that contain a comma followed by a space (#890).

4.2.4

iOS

Improves error handling when device can't fetch files due to low storage space (#885).

4.2.3

iOS

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.

4.2.2+1

Android

Reverts Android READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE permission removal.

4.2.2

Android

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).

4.2.1

Android

Fixes an issue where onFileLoading would be called while picking directories (#863).

4.2.0

Adds the identifier property to the PlatformFile which references the original file identifier for both iOS & Android (#804).

4.1.6

Desktop (macOS)

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)

4.1.5

Web

• Fixes an issue that would prevent the call to return when both withReadStream and allowMultiple were set. (#843).
• Addresses an issue in the example app.

4.1.4

Android

Addresses an issue where multiple media files couldn't be picked in some 3rd party explorers (#846). Thank you @innim98.

4.1.3

iOS

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)

4.1.2

Desktop (Linux)

Fixes the issue that on Linux the file type filter FileType.any did not allow the selection of files without file extension. (#836)

4.1.1

iOS

Fixes an issue that would result in picker being dismissed by pulling down the modal sheet without an event. (#828)

Web

Addresses an issue when comparing files on Web would result in an error due to path not being accessible. (#822)

4.1.0

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).

4.0.3

Makes the path getter nullable to match with its property (#823).

4.0.2

Desktop (Windows)

Fixes custom extension filter. Thank you @jgoyvaerts.

4.0.1

General

Overrides equality and toString for platform_file and file_picker_result for better comparison different results. Thank you @Nolence.

iOS

• Changes the presentation type of the picker from UIModalPresentationCurrentContext to UIModalPresentationAutomatic (#813).

Web

• Fixes regression of #746.
• Updates exception text when trying to access path on Web. Thank you @maxzod.

4.0.0

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;

Web

Adds onFileLoading() to Web. (#766).

3.0.4

Android

• 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.

3.0.3

Web

• Removes analysis_options.yaml from the plugin and fixes the Don't import implementation files from another package warning (#746).

Android

• Addresses an issue where bytes might be missing after first picking when withData is set to true. (#616).

Desktop (GO)

• Patches README import path. (Thank you @voynichteru)

Fixes README screenshots.

2.0.1

iOS: Updates picker to use new PHPickerController for both single and multi media (image/video) picks (iOS 14 and above only).

2.0.0

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 from FilePickerResult;
• 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 a File with the picked paths;

New features

• Simplified usage, now you only need to use FilePicker.platform.pickFiles() with desired parameters which will return a FilePickerResult with a List<PlatformFile> containing the picked data;
• Added classes FilePickerResult and PlatformFile 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 as Uint8List (part of PlatformFile 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() and getMultiFile() are no longer availble in favor o pickFiles();

1.13.3

Go: Updates MacOS directory picker to applescript (thank you @trister1997).

1.13.2

Android: fixes picking paths from Downloads directory on versions below Android Q.

1.13.1

Android: adds support to non-legacy picking on Android Q or above (thank you @lakshyab1995).

1.13.0+1

Fixes an issue that could prevent 1.13.0 from being built due to missing allowCompression property.

1.13.0

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.

1.12.0

Adds getDirectoryPath() desktop (go) implementation.

1.11.0+3

Updates tearDown() call order on Android's implementation.

1.11.0+2

Updates README file (iOS preview).

1.11.0+1

1.10.0

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.

1.9.0+1

Updates podspec to use only PhotoGallery from DKImagePickerController (thanks @jamesdixon!)

1.8.0+1

Minor fix on getFile() method - should affect only those on 1.8.0.

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.

1.7.1

Updates iOS multi gallery picker dependency and adds a modal loading while fetching exporting assets.

1.7.0

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.

1.4.0

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 then hover 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 a getMultiFile 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.

1.3.8

Bug fix: Fixes an issue that could cause a crash when picking files with very long names.

Changes: Updates Android target API to 29.

1.3.7

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.

1.3.6

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.

1.3.5

Bug fix: Fixes an issue that could prevent users to pick files from the iCloud Drive app, on versions below iOS 11.

1.3.4+1

Rollback: Removes a local dependency that shouldn't have been committed with 1.3.4 which would cause Android build to fail.

1.3.4

1.3.1

Bug fix: Fixes an issue on Android, where other activity would try to call FilePicker's result object when it shouldn't.

1.3.0

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 a Map<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 using getFilePath() 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 of getFilePath() but returns a File 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.

1.2.0

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.

1.1.1

• Updates README file.

1.1.0

Breaking changes

• FileType.PDF was removed since now it can be used along with custom file types by using the FileType.CUSTOM and providing the file extension (e.g. PDF, SVG, ZIP, etc.).
