Sample Code(please provide minimum code to reproduce problem):
This the code I am using:
if (isIOS) {
extensions = [kUTTypePDF]; // you can get more types from here: https://developer.apple.com/documentation/mobilecoreservices/uttype
} else {
extensions = ['pdf'];
}

    let options: FilePickerOptions = {
        android: {
            extensions: extensions,
            maxNumberFiles: 1
        },
        ios: {
            extensions: extensions,
            multipleSelection: false
        }
    };

    let mediafilepicker = new Mediafilepicker();

    try {
        mediafilepicker.openFilePicker(options);
    }
    catch (e) {
        // alert(JSON.stringify(e)); 
        console.dir('mediafilepicker.openFilePicker error >>> ', e);

    }

    mediafilepicker.on("getFiles", function (res) {
        let results = res.object.get('results');

        const file = fs.File.fromPath(results[0].file);

        console.log(">>>>> codee 2 ", file);

        callback({ isFile: true, file: file });
    });

    mediafilepicker.on("error", function (res) {
        let msg = res.object.get('msg');
        console.log(msg);
    });

    mediafilepicker.on("cancel", function (res) {
        let msg = res.object.get('msg');
        console.log(msg);
    });

Thanks for your help!

Open your project using xcode & give error log

Hi,
This is the ouput in the tns console:

file:///node_modules/@nativescript/core/application/application.js:312:0: JS ERROR Error: NativeScript encountered a fatal error: NSErrorWrapper: You don\M-b\M^@\M^Z\M-C\M^D\M-C\M-4t have permission to save the file \M-b\M^@\M^Z\M-C\M^D\M-C\M-:co.expressios-Inbox\M-b\M^@\M^Z\M-C\M^D\M-C\M-9 in the folder \M-b\M^@\M^Z\M-C\M^D\M-C\M-:tmp\M-b\M^@\M^Z\M-C\M^D\M-C\M-9.

And the xcode ouput is:

The reason is written there. Do Google search & find solution

[egarciadev7]

Sorry but this is not very useful, like you see this error comes simply by calling " mediafilepicker.open File Picker(options)"... any advice?, and of course I am searching in google... thanks

Did you find any solution @egarciadev7 ? I am also facing the same problem.

I found the problem and fixed it.

The issue in my case was that getFiles event, when using the openFilePicker(), returned results with the file path starting with file://. I fixed it by removing that part with something like:

const normalisedResults = results.map((result) => {
    if (result.file.startsWith("file://")) {
        result.file = result.file.substr(7);
    }
    return result;
});
