I'm trying to take a photo with my iPhone and access the original file (*.HEIC if picture is taken by an iPhone) afterwards using the image_picker version 0.8.2 plugin in Flutter.

Below my problem:

final XFile photo = await _picker.pickImage(source: ImageSource.camera);
                    print(photo.path);

The print result shows:
flutter: /private/var/mobile/Containers/Data/Application/660C28A9-9167-417B-8FCC-F7CC234F027C/tmp/image_picker_9B836DE1-A90D-4270-9151-1BD420D24DCA-9388-0000069CA5F4337B.jpg

which is not the path of the original File I want to access to. This seems more to be the cached image path. But what I am actually expecting is the path of the *.HEIC file.

Anyone who could help me here?

Thanks!

  • @VasilyAvilov Thanks for you reply but the suggested plugin "multi_image_picker" got discontinued. Do you still think it's a good Idea to use that? – Ayrix Jul 28 '21 at 06:34
  • did you reall test on a physical device, or in the simulator? – Herbert Poul Jul 28 '21 at 07:18
  • @Ayrix I see it was published last time May 15, 2021. I think it is not so far await and there is no reason why it will not work. Moreover in answer at the link there is second file_picker package. – Vasily Avilov Jul 28 '21 at 08:05
  • @Herbert Poul yes I‘ve tried on a physical device :) – Ayrix Jul 28 '21 at 10:17
  • @Vasiliy Avilov - yes you are right that the last update was released recently and I’m sure that it will work but I was more worried about the future :) but thanks anyway for your efforts – Ayrix Jul 28 '21 at 10:19
