Implementation

static Future<bool> openFile(String filePath) async {
  try {
    if (!Platform.isAndroid && !Platform.isIOS) {
      throw UnsupportedError('File opening only supports Android and iOS');
    }

    // Check if file exists
    final file = File(filePath);
    if (!file.existsSync()) {
      debugPrint('FilePicker.openFile: File does not exist: $filePath');
      return false;
    }

    return await FilePickerPlatform.openFile(filePath);
  } catch (e) {
    debugPrint('FilePicker.openFile error: $e');
    return false;
  }
}
