Hi,

Best,
Dominik

I am also facing same issue. I am trying to use FlutterImagePicker.
App works fine till navigating to gallery.
But when I click on image to select it, nothing happens.
Same code works perfectly fine on windows machine.
I guess it works fine on Intel mac's.

Yeah, seems like an issue with the M1 Macs. In my Intel machine, doesn't happen. Both devices are running Xcode 12.4

Hello Apple- Please wakeup.

I was expecting this issue gets resolved in macOS Big Sur V 11.3.
But, it's a BIG disappointment. No fix for this issue.....
Wakeup Apple .....

Apple doesn't respond.

Where are you expecting Apple to respond? Here on DevForums? Or via one of our formal support channels?

Share and Enjoy

I removed "EXCLUDED_ARCHS[sdk=iphonesimulator*]" = arm64; from Build settings and it works now

Yes this seems to be very likely a problem with the M1. A simple and effective workaround is to install iOS 13.7 simulator, if your project supports iOS 13. On this simulator the Image picker works, also a different issue (copy/paste) works on this simulator on Apple M1 silicon. The issue appears on iOS 14 and higher. See a good discussion here
