Flutter_file_picker: Issue with audio files on iOS

[rlee1990]

When using this to get audio files on iOS they all end up empty even though it has the file path. The audio files are there on the device and play outside the app.

Here is a log of the path when I get the file
flutter: ipod-library://item/item.mp3?id=7047353994216599616

Using iPhone xr

@rlee1990 Ok, it seems that the file might need to be cached to somewhere else (eg. Documents path) before being able to be used within your app.

This needs to be done on plugin's side. I'll have to take a look when I have some time. Thank you.

I have the same issue with an iPad on 13.4.1. Pick an audio file, getting path "ipod-library://item/item.m4a?id=...". I cannot play that file

[miguelpruivo]

@edukun I remember seeing somewhere that when files were being resolved as ipod-library those couldn't be loaded anyway — some sort of protection. But I don't really recall where I read that.
