Web

Description

On flutter web, same issue fixed on android by https://github.com/firebase/flutterfire/issues/12363 and https://github.com/firebase/flutterfire/issues/12801

On Web, putFile function is not available (only compatible with android), so you have to use putData instead on a firebaseStorageRef.

When you FirebaseStorage.instance.ref().child(fileName).putData() with a NULL SettableMetadata, mime type is NOT correctly inferred from file extension in storage firebase console and defaults to application/octet-stream If you provide any customMetadata to SettableMetadata (for example customMetadata: {'picked-file-path': file.path}) WITHOUT providing a contentType, mime type is also not inferred from file extension in firebase console

In all cases, if you do not provide a contentType to SettableMetadata, mime type is never inferred always defaults to application/octet-stream

Reproducing the issue

Use the firebase_storage package example https://pub.dev/packages/firebase_storage/example, with the following update : final metadata = SettableMetadata( contentType: 'image/jpeg', <<< COMMENT THIS LINE customMetadata: {'picked-file-path': file.path}, );
