Unable to pick files with `custom` or `any` file type on Android 14 about flutter_file_picker

[Cloud3886]

var localFile = await FilePicker.platform.pickFiles( type: FileType.custom, allowMultiple: false, allowedExtensions: ['pdf'], withData: true, );

poco f3 gt Android 13 - same problem

previously used to work but after changing to android:launchMode="singleInstance" it gave this issue.

This fork works and solves this issue.

file_picker: git: url: https://github.com/melWiss/flutter_file_picker.git

i got the same problem, and i found a way to solve it..

you can try changing android:launchMode="singleInstance" in /main/AndroidManifest.xml to android:launchMode="singleTop"

I'm glad to report that the fix from this PR works.
For now I'm using this way to add file_picker dependency:

  file_picker:
    git:
      url: https://github.com/melWiss/flutter_file_picker.git

I confirm it's also working on my Samsung Galaxy when upgraded to Android 14

I am also experiencing this issue, but in my case it occurs on my Pixel 4A Android 13.
What's weird is that the file picker does not work on my main (large) project, but works fine on a newly created test project.

How are you picking?

FilePicker.platform.pickFiles(
  allowMultiple: true,
  allowedExtensions: ['pdf'],
  type: FileType.custom,
);

Output (Main Project):

D/FilePickerUtils(26411): Allowed file extensions mimes: [application/pdf]
D/FilePickerDelegate(26411): Selected type */*
I/FilePickerDelegate(26411): User cancelled the picker request

Output (Test Project):

D/FilePickerUtils(28311): Allowed file extensions mimes: [application/pdf]
D/FilePickerDelegate(28311): Selected type */*
I/FilePickerUtils(28311): Caching from URI: content://com.android.providers.media.documents/document/document%3A83

@VladStarikovEk Did you manage to solve this ? If so, how ?

[VladStarikovEk]

@TheCarpetMerchant Sadly - no. We still experiencing it.

[TheCarpetMerchant]

@VladStarikovEk there's a pull request opened for the fix. Just got it into prod and users confirm it works.
The pull request is 35 commits behind, so I made my own fork for it.

What is the solution purposed for this? Not sure what about the consequences of limiting it for single. I recall that it could introduce some issues but don't remember which.
