Additional context
I've replaced the public.item to public.image on loadFileRepresentationForTypeIdentifier and it seems to work just fine.
Also found this thread that had a similar issue, I've posted there too but it is still under review.

[GabrielAraujo]

Maybe we could think on using the type parameter also on the didFinishPicking method to use public.image or public.audiovisual-content as per this documentation depending on the selected media type.
