ImagePicker.pickImage(source: ImageSource.gallery) returns null

Steps to Reproduce Create a flutter app. Try and use the most basic functionality of the image_picker plugin.

Expected results:

When you select an image from the gallery, it should return something to your application. A file, or location. Anything really.

Actual results:

Nothing. The gallery launches. You select an image. Gallery goes away, nothing is returned to the app at all. Just leaves null.

My code

Future getImage() async {
  var image = await ImagePicker.pickImage(source: ImageSource.gallery);
  customImageFile = image.toString();
  print('customImageFile: ' + customImageFile);
}

Output from code

customImageFile: null

Plugin Version

image_picker: 0.6.5

The image_picker returns null on IOS simulator on M1 Macs. This is a problem that is still not resolved. Use a physical device. Your code seems correct.

You should typecast image variable as File:

var image = await ImagePicker().getImage(source: ImageSource.gallery) as File;

Future getImage() async {
  var image = await ImagePicker().getImage(source: ImageSource.gallery);
  customImageFile = File(image.path);
  print('customImageFile: ' + customImageFile);
}

flutter

you need to create future function. store the result in a variable of File bcz it will return the image Path

Future<File> pickImage(ImageSource source) async{
    File testImage = await ImagePicker.pickImage(source: source);
    setState(() {
      pickedImage = testImage;
    });
  }
