File pickers based on file_selector with the following differences:

• Support picking a directory on iOS.
• Picking a directory on macOS can be configured to return a path or a URL.

Usage

macOS

You need to add the following key to entitlements in order for macOS app to be able to access file system:

  <key>com.apple.security.files.user-selected.read-write</key>
  <true/>

Pick files

/// Picks a file and return a
/// [XFile](https://pub.dev/documentation/cross_file/latest/cross_file/XFile-class.html).
final file = await FcFilePickerUtil.pickFile();

/// Picks multiple files and return a list of
/// [XFile](https://pub.dev/documentation/cross_file/latest/cross_file/XFile-class.html).
final files = await FcFilePickerUtil.pickMultipleFiles();

Pick a folder

/// Picks a folder and return a [FilePickerXResult].
///
/// [macOSScoped] whether to return URL on macOS. If false, returns path. On iOS,
/// URL is always returned.
final folder = await FcFilePickerUtil.pickFolder(macOSScoped: false);

The result (FilePickerXResult) can be a URI or path depending on the platform:

• Windows: path
• macOS: URL if macOSScoped is true, otherwise path
• iOS: URL
  • Note: you might need to call startAccessingSecurityScopedResource to gain access to the directory on iOS.
• Android: An SAF Uri

Pick a save path

/// Picks a save file location and return a [String] path.
/// You can optionally specify a default file name.
final savePath = await FcFilePickerUtil.pickSaveFile();
