Flutter image picker doesn't pick some images on iOS

Question

I'm trying to pick image from gallery and it works fine. But if the image's extension is webp it's not picking it. So I can't handle the error. Cause it's not throws an error about it. Here is my code snippet:

try {
  final XFile? image = await _picker.pickImage(
      source: ImageSource.gallery);
  if (image != null) {
    print(image.path);
  }
} catch (e) {
  print(e);
}

How can I handle the unsupported image format immediately? I tried timeOut but it also throws error when user viewing the gallery view and not selected image yet.

Try using File Picker instead:

A package that allows you to use the native file explorer to pick single or multiple files, with extensions filtering support.

You want to check file extension when picking up the file right? – Diwyansh Nov 25 '21 at 09:14

It was due to the image format (webp). After 0.8.4+10 version it fixed.
