How are you picking?

 Future<File> getFile(List<String> type) async {
    FilePickerResult? file = await FilePicker.platform.pickFiles(
        allowedExtensions: type,
        type: FileType.custom,
        allowMultiple: false,
        withReadStream: true);

    if (file != null) {
      return File(file.files.first.path!);
    } else {
      throw Exception("File is not seleted");
    }
  }

Thank you I will have a look, but did you find a solution to the problem? As I already implemented my app using file_picker?

[alihassan143]

it works on other platforms but did not works in linux build @Haidar0096 you have to only change one function if you make and reusable picked file functions like this

     Future<File> getFile(List<String> type) async {
    final XTypeGroup typeGroup = XTypeGroup(
      extensions: type,
    );
    final XFile? file = await openFile(acceptedTypeGroups: <XTypeGroup>[typeGroup]);
 
    if (file != null) {
      return File(file.path);
    } else {
      throw Exception("File is not seleted");
    }
  }`
