I didn't see the implementation in this PR. I also think that we cannot make such PRs until #1475 is merged

[dimonovdd]

You should probably discard the change to this file

[GUOLDEV]

I will remove it, thanks 👍

Hi @dimonovdd , I just started trying to find the best way to get this task done, created this draft PR for visualisation and to get help to achieve the implementation. Please let me know if you have any questions or ideas how we can get it done 👍

[dimonovdd]

You can copy the implementation from here.
But before you do this we need to combine PR #1475

Hi @dimonovdd, I did a quick look at your plugin and it looks great! It is definitely going to be a good addition to this plugin.

[dimonovdd]

I think this will not become part of Xamarin.Essentials. But I will try to add this to MAUI.Essentials

[GUOLDEV]

@dimonovdd I worked a little bit on this issue and I got it working for iOS, I am having issues getting the correct file path using PHPickerResult. I will try to get it working for Android as well.

This won't be happening for Xamarin.Essentials anymore unfortunately. Thanks so much for your time and effort here! We will make this happen for .NET MAUI!
